More than a movie: stepping inside a film

Have you ever imagined a movie you don't just watch, but step inside and explore? A French tourist, Olivier Dumont, recently experienced his first virtual reality film at the 798 Hyper Vision in Beijing.

"It (the movie) was very well made. You feel that you're moving when obviously you're standing still," he said, adding that unlike conventional film viewing, which he described as a "passive" experience, the VR film placed him inside the story itself.

As China’s first virtual reality cinema, 798 Hyper Vision now offers 15 VR films, most of which include English subtitles. By allowing viewers to walk through virtual worlds, technology is transforming movies from a passive pastime into an adventure in which you can actually take part.
