Virtual reality is, naturally, a big part of this movement, as filmmakers start creating more content for consumer-grade devices like the Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard. This is why the current edition of the event is hosting Stanford's Virtual Human Virtual Interaction Lab (http://vhil.stanford.edu/), a venture started in 2003 by Jeremy Bailenson (https://tribecafilm.com/stories/get-to-know-a-genius-jeremy-bailenson-festival), who's a professor at the university and has been working on digital human representation since 1999. It features a set of VR experiences that attendees can check out, all with the same goal of transporting you into another reality.
