Immersive movie-going experience: Introducing CINEVR, the fully digital cinema platform
Embrace the Cinema Rush at Home: Level Up Your Movie Time with CINEVR
In these times of coronavirus and social distancing, relive the cinema magic in the comfort of your abode with CINEVR, the pioneering virtual cinema chaired by the French startup CINEMUR. This digital wizardry offers over 100 flicks for solo sessions or buddy binges, right inside your cozy den.
Originated by the Paris-based digital agency CINEMUR, CINEVR is an all-virtual, immersive film fest shindig that caters to 2D, 3D and 360° films. Founded by diehard cinephiles, CINEMUR boasts a rich resume in virtual and augmented reality projects.
Elevate Your Big Screen Adventures at Home
While many French folks remain apprehensive about revisiting the multiplex, and their wallets might not always keep pace with their love for the silver screen, cutting-edge technology is shaking up the scene with game-changing innovations.
As a daydreamer, picture this: organizing your own private viewing party, replete with pals or loved ones. Let it slips of popcorn or wolf whistles, chattering and chuckling during flick fests. Cheer on the latest blockbusters from the sanctuary of your home. That's the treat CINEVR dishes out in its refreshed virtual cinema.
Virtual reality unlocks infinite possibilities for creating immersive experiences with high emotional impact for users.
Every twilight, a screening soiree hoists sail at 9 PM. Pop on your virtual reality visor, and you're whisked off to a virtual theater mingling with fellow spectators. As of now, the app is accessible via Oculus Go and Rift S headsets, Samsung Gear VR, and HTC Vive. "By year's end, CINEVR will be available on all market-dominating virtual reality headsets," asserts Vincent Tessier, CEO of CINEMUR.
An Enviable Film Library and Exclusive Premiers
CINEVR proudly proclaims itself the "paradise" for film and culture enthusiasts. The app boasts a tantalizing treasure trove: blockbusters a few months post-premiere, documentaries, award-winning shorts, live shows, and immersive experiences concocted by the best French and international XR studios.
To inflame your cinematic experience and stoke spectators' emotions, CINEVR invites you to catch a flick in a room pulsating with ambiance. For instance, revel in a romantic movie while lounging on a sandy shore adorned with coconut palms, intensify your adrenaline with a horror movie backed by a haunted house decor, journey back in time by cruising in a sixties drive-in for a cult movie, and so much more! The cinematic universe is your oyster from your couch!
Currently, CINEVR's ambition is to become Europe's leading virtual cinema: "a social haven for 7th art aficionados, sneak peeks, live events, festivals, and a creative community space for self-directed film screenings," notes Vincent Tessier.
