Ecosphere is a series of VR videos, recorded in 360 degrees 3D, that comes from Phoria. The app offers several encounters with exotic wildlife from across the globe. The experience is narrated by actress and WWF ambassador, Anna Friel.
This will be quite different from a lot of the experiences currently available on Quest, then. Traditionally we’ve found the live-action 360-degree video to be underwhelming, but we’re hoping Ecosphere’s focus on high quality 360 degrees 3D footage will truly transport us to these locations for intimate experiences.
The piece was produced in partnership with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Silverback Films Ltd andOculus. It’s not clear if it will be released for free or have a price attached to it.
The app offers several encounters with exotic wildlife from across the globe. The experience is narrated by actress and WWF ambassador, Anna Friel. Ecosphere takes to you the jungles of Borneo, the savannahs of Kenya and the coral reefs of Raja. At each location, you’ll get close encounters with wildlife, including elephants and manta rays. You’ll also meet some of the local people working hard within these areas. This isn’t a game but instead a cinematic experience to sit back and enjoy.
