POSITRON VR

A festival goes hand in hand with its partners and sponsors. Two of those partners were Veer VR and Positron. That last one of these two had rather seen the event take place at the Palm Beach Casino. Positron is well known for its, already iconic, red-colored fully immersive cinematic VR chair. In a corona free world, they would have set up a 25 chair VR cinema next to the beach, but Founder & CEO Jeffrey Travis was still keen to hand out the ‘Positron Visionary Award’ and stay loyal to the partnership. Listen to his podcast about why 360 films can be as captivating as 6DoF experiences.
