VR storytelling
summary
Samsung positions VR as both mass and personal storytelling with $99 Gear VR already on over a million headsets and a soon‑to‑ship 360 camera eyeball (two‑lens, golf‑ball size) priced in the low hundreds. Examples include Cirque du Soleil staging the viewer inside the show, Six Flags adding Gear VR to roller coasters and 4D moving chairs, live‑streaming 360, synchronized “mass trigger” starts, and a 90‑minute hands‑on team exercise that yields usable narrative cues. Prediction: real consumer hits and new VR‑only businesses within 3–5 years.
