A master class called "Virtual Reality: technology and prospects" will take place September 20th within KIEV MEDIA WEEK 2016 in partnership with FILM.UA Faculty at Hyatt Regency Kiev.
Technology development, dynamic as it is, presupposes now that it is no longer enough for a viewer to see the motion picture, not so even in 3D. For the sake of a more comprehensive perception of the generated world within the picture, the computer systems now imitate interaction with virtual environment by affecting all five human senses. VR (Virtual Reality) technology is a rapidly developing technological domain, now able to give content developers an opportunity to expand interaction with end user by providing new prospects.
The master class "Virtual reality: technology and prospects" will cover the following issues:
- VR technology – overview and capabilities
- provenance of VR
- review of existing technologies and insider information on their discrepancies
- VR content formats, methods of their monetization
- why is VR media?
- examples from BBC Studio
