Production stills.  Source: Autumn VR Many Christians have often wondered what it would have been like to live in Jesus' time.  Their wish will be virtually fulfilled.  This Christmas, a 90-minute VR movie about Jesus will be released by Enzo Sisti, the executive producer of Mel Gibson's 2004 film The Passion of the Christ.  Called Jesus VR - the Story of Christ, the movie was filmed entirely in 4k 360-degrees, at the same location in Italy that was used for the filming of the Passion. The movie will tell the entire gospel story, starting from Jesus' birth through his crucifixion and resurrection, and will include key moments such as his baptism at the Jordan river, the Wedding at Cana and the Sermon on the Mount.  "The viewers truly feel they are there with Jesus and his disciples," said director and producer David Hansen.

Oculus Touch Review: the Wait Is Over

Image
Ever since virtual reality headsets were launched, one common criticism has been that the technology is impressive, but there's not enough good content for it.  The release of the Oculus Touch has long been awaited by Oculus Rift users, but it also answers the industry's need for a VR system with compelling software. A couple of months ago, I got to try the Oculus Touch at a demo ( here are my first impressions ).  I was sufficiently impressed with the demo that it caused me to reconsider the Oculus Rift.  Shortly thereafter, I sold my HTC Vive, got an Oculus Rift, and ordered the Oculus Touch.  I finally received the Touch last week after several delays. WHAT'S IN THE BOX The Oculus Touch comes in a black box with a sleeve, similar to that of the Oculus Rift. Unlike the Rift's rigid box, the Touch's box is cardboard and there's no magnetic clasp or retracting handle, but the Touch box still looks presentable and can serve as a storage case.
