This Studio Could Be the Pixar of Virtual Reality

Baobab Studios is taking VR to the next level with animated film "Invasion." We go eyes-on with the short film.

Two adorable aliens are standing in front of me, waiting to zap me into oblivion.
The logical part of my brain knows they're not actually there. But thanks to the power of virtual reality, I feel like they actually exist.
This is the world of "Invasion," an animated VR short film by Baobab Studios. Founded by Maureen Fan, former Zynga vice president of games, and Eric Darnell, director of films like "Antz" and "Madagascar," the pair are passionate about VR as a storytelling medium.

"You can watch "Invasion" on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or Samsung Gear VR, with more platforms coming soon. Baobab plans to release additional episodes in the series." Source; http://www.baobabstudios.com/

  1. Virtual Reality is an incredible use of technology that can be applied with success in almost any field. Initially, it was dedicated to the gaming industry, but now it has extended to other industries and we cannot ignore its uses in education.
