Jason, dressed as an elegant dog, told me what was my story, or better part of it. Flying around me, with the avatar of tiny flying camera bots, there was the audience, that was formed by around 6-7 people.Īfter I was ready to go, the experience started. In the experience I was the Hero, that was the main character of the story, and was dressed with a futuristic armor like the one of the soldiers in Halo. I think this is what everyone proposing a similar experience should do. I would have felt lost if they hadn’t helped me during my first minutes of complete confusion. It was my first time in Neos, I was using the Vive Cosmos, and I found amazing that the team spent so much time with me to introduce me to the experience.

If you want to watch my full experience with The MetaMovie, you can enjoy it here below! I promise that you’ll have some fun 🙂 WARNING: ALL THE REST OF THE ARTICLE CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS AND THE VIDEO CONTAINS ENORMOUS SPOILERS My experience with The MetaMovie: Alien Rescue The MetaMovie team exploits the power of Neos to be able to offer its pretty cool experience. Neos is one of the most powerful social VR spaces out there and it is impressive that it has been developed by a so little team. The technological platform where all of this happens is NeosVR, the ultra-open social VR space developed by Frooxius and other two developers. Artwork that shows part of the action of The MetaMovie: Alien Rescue (Image by The MetaMovie) The concept is very interesting, because it mixes theater with virtual reality. Since it is a very interesting show, that every time is different, there is also the possibility of being part of its audience and just enjoy what is happening (introverts will approve this): you can impersonate a little creature (a flying tiny robot in Alien Rescue) that flies around the space and can watch the action from all the points of view. Of course, they guide you so that you will follow the main plot of the experience (that you don’t know), but what exactly happens depends on you. You become the main character of the story, and all the other actors around you behave depending on what you are doing. The best part of the show is that there is also another actor that shapes the story, and that one is you.
The actors perform live and they have a basic structure of the plot, but they have every time to make up what to exactly say and what exactly do. So for instance, in The MetaMovie: Alien Rescue, the experience that I’ve tried, the story is about rescuing some alien creatures in danger and there are 3 actors, impersonating a girl and two alien warriors, that are on a desolate planet to perform that mission. In The MetaMovie there is a sort of screenplay and various actors perform live every time to recreate a story. So, what is The MetaMovie? The idea of The MetaMovie is the one of bringing improvisational theater to VR.

I’m very proud of having seen him go from a Kickstarter campaign that miraculously reached the end goal in the final hours to be selected at the very important Venice Film Festival. Since that article, I’ve become a bit friend with Jason. I have to warn you that this article is a bit personal for me.
