We’ve been waiting for an official Star Wars virtual reality experience for some time. With the movie coming out next month, that time is almost now. In an announcement today on StarWars.com we got some updates on what to expect.
Here’s what they had to say,Coming on December 2nd is a new virtual reality experience developed along with Google and Verizon .This will feature the first-of-its-kind searilized google Cardboard Vritual reality(VR) experience that combines a compelling story,which ties directly into the opening of Star Wars :The force Awakens with very latest cutting edge VR technology.The Google Cardboard virtual reality experience will live in the official Star Wars app and is available on both Andriod and iOS devices.
According to an announcement on the official Star Wars site, Google will launh a Star Wars virtual reality experience for Google Cardboard, the company’s low-cost VR platform.
Yes,not only will there be content, but Google’s putting out some Star Wars-themed Cardboard thingy-doos to view the stuff. Forget the “Cardboard isn’t real VR” argument for a moment you’re going to want to check it out.
You can snag one of the themed Cardboards in a Verizon store on December 2nd exclusively. There’s four different ones, and I’m sure that they will become collectible. As does anything physical having to do with Star Wars. Nice score by Verizon. The content will be available on the Star Wars official app for iOS and Android.
The group behind the content itself, Industrial Light & Magic’s ILMxLAB, has been cranking away on creating an immersive content for at least six months, so it’s gotta be good.
Google’s sudden adoration for Star Wars is part of a collaboration with Disney and Verizon. On Monday, the company launched a mini-site which lets users choose between the light and the dark side and get “Star Wars”-themed versions of popular Google apps and services.
