Hollywood is doing its best to figure out virtual reality, often with less than compelling results.  

But a small group of VR producers at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival have successfully innovated their way through experimental territory that big studios have not yet dared to tread, using physical objects and even live actors in their experiences.   

Let's start with the very cool and end with the absolutely mind-blowing.

Blackout is an attempt to give all big city commuters the super powers they've always wanted: the power to read the minds of your fellow riders.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
