Beyond Reality
Although early VR contents placed an importance on extending screens up to 360 degrees and re-defining frame by the audience, VR contents have recently begun to remove the restrictive label of "virtual reality" and replaced it with the new "extended reality" nametag. VR contents in 2019 are expanding their territory through "interactive storytelling boosted by the swift development of real-time rendering engines," "location-based content experiences that combine performance and exhibitions," ¡°the evolution of MMO social VR," "fusion with real spaces via AR and MR," and "digital human characters and the conquest of uncanny valley through the development of AI and CG technology." The sacrifices and bold experimentations of numerous artists are leading the development of VR content.
BIFAN¡¯s Beyond Reality allows you to explore the current state of XR contents, which is materializing the potential of unlimited expansion in the realm of reality. Beyond Reality will also present an enormous variety of immersive contents.
Immersive contents, which have expanded swiftly due to the experimentations that are being done with the contents, allow you to experience a new reality beyond reality.
