Three companies are better than one when it comes to 360 degree video content, and that’s why Digital Domain, an influential visual effects studio, has now announced its partnership with Gyro AS and Warner Bros. AS to distribute the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 360 and virtual reality (VR).
The stream will be free, and it will be available to view online or on the Digital Domain VR app. Those who will be featuring during the concert are Halsey, Highasakite, Marcus & Martinus, A-Ha, and Kygo, with hosts such as Conan O’Brien in the concert and Derek Muller on YouTube.
“We knew we’d need a partner alongside Gyro with both the technical knowhow and expertise to seamlessly produce and broadcast an event like this live in 360° to an audience around the world,” said Odd Arvid Stromstad, Managing Director, Warner Bros. Norway in a press release. “Digital Domain is a leading global technology and entertainment content producer, and we look forward to sharing this significant event and sharing the message of peace.”
“With their industry-leading virtual reality techniques and proprietary technology, we’re excited to be partnering with Digital Domain,” said Kristian Kirkvaag, Executive Producer, Gyro. “Our history with experience-based communication and our production capabilities make Digital Domain an ideal strategic fit, and we look forward to expanding possibilities as well as their capabilities across neighboring regions.”

There have been a fair few announcements to come from the relatively concise Google event that took place this evening, including the Google Pixel smartphone and Google Daydream View. To go along with these two reveals, there needs to be applications, and it seems as though there was a big reveal for Harry Potter fans hidden up their wizard sleeve.
Adrienne McCallister who is the leader of partnerships for Daydream came up on stage, and one of the first announcements was of this new Harry Potter franchised title made with Framestore: “With Daydream you’re going to be able to explore some really magical places, and what’s more magical than the wizarding world of J.K Rowling? I’m excited to announce that we’ve been working with Warner Brothers to bring an exclusive Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them experience to Daydream.”
In the preview shown during the event it looks as though players can wave the controller as the wand and interact with various surroundings as well as with the beasts. “In it you’re a wizard and the controller transforms into a wand that you can use to levitate objects and cast spells. We’re really stoked about this because don’t we all just want to be wizards?”
There has been no specific date set for this, but check back with VRFocus for the latest news, updates, and features in the world of VR.
