Focusing on interactivity and combining traditional VFX techniques and techniques for narrative storytelling, this reel provides insight into VR projects spanning the genres of narrative film, commercial promotion, music videos, and live streaming content.

Experience a virtual meal of delicious-looking 3D scanned food - perhaps accompanied by your choice of soylent or gruel. Also available in hologram form.

Selections from award-winning productions of the California Academy of Sciences Visualization Studio. Experience the 1906 San Francisco earthquake from Market Street, then see how supercomputer simulations reveal the event’s underlying seismological activity. Next, explore earth’s ecosystems through satellite data, migrations, and the spread of agriculture over millennia.

Kiya is an experience created in partnership with Al Jazeera America that demonstrates VR's powerful ability to increase empathy.

More than 100,000 chemical reactions happen in your brain every second. So what about the moment you saw the girl of your dreams, and she saw you? If we could capture those few seconds, what would the data look like?

A short animation of the archetypal hero's journey through seven stages: birth (calm), childhood (love), mission (joy), labyrinth (surprise), monster (fear), battle (anger/hate), and death/rebirth. Cycles continue until stars burn out and nothing is left. Created stereoscopically in SANNDE, the world's first freehand stereoscopic 3D animation software.

An immersive tour of the brain via real neuroimaging data.

A virtual reality interactive commercial told through the point of view of a rollerblading robot that jumps rooftops chasing the Nissan Juke. As it goes into the simulation portal, the city shuts down. Premiered at the Paris Motor Show.

Project Syria uses a custom virtual reality head-mounted display, computer graphics, real audio, and the Unity game engine to shed light on the growing number of children in Syrian refugee camps. The experience recreates a bombing that took place on a busy street corner in Aleppo, Syria.

Fulldome Lab adapted Android Jones’ stunning digital paintings into a fulldome format by adding specially designed animations and soundscapes. The resulting SAMSKARA Exhibition penetrates the viewer’s subconscious, allowing the curious and playful eternal force to bring focus to long forgotten thoughts and memories.

Scope+ is designed for biological procedures, education, and surgical training. With conventional stereo microscopes, users need to repeatedly move their heads away from the eyepiece to access more information. Scope+ solves this critical problem.

New for 2015!

Real-time immersion in tomorrow’s virtual and augmented realities:

• Stand-up/sit-down VR and tabletop AR
• Nomadic VR (untethered head-mounted displays or AR)
• Full-dome cinema
• Live performances and demos in a 360-degree immersion dome

Throughout the week at SIGGRAPH 2015, attendees can explore the fascinating potential of these new formats for telling stories, engaging audiences, and powering real–world applications in health, education, design, and gaming.

NCSA's Advanced Visualization Lab worked with scientists to create data-driven scientific visualizations as part of a digital full-dome production titled Solar Superstorms, which follows dynamic processes in our sun that stir up its magnetic field, the space weather storms they can create, and how those affect the earth.

A wintertime journey through prehistoric France to see ancient elk and mammoths, and explore the origins of storytelling itself.

"The Fifth Sleep" is the first-ever interactive feature film in VR. It is a story within a story. Think "Inception" meets "Fantastic Voyage".
