Innovation of the week (week 50)

3D TV and film has been one of the largest innovations to take place in this industry. 3D glasses and IMAX have taken the movie theatre experience a step further. With the increase of Netflix and online streaming going to the cinema was getting rather dull and could be considered as a wasteful cost so; 3D became 4D and then 4D became Virtual screening rooms. How much further could this concept be taken?

Insert Virtually Reality Headsets. Now, I talk about this in terms of the blockbuster industry when in truth it began in the gaming Industry. Either way the feats that this innovation has reached in a short period of time is amazing. In fact Gartner Group estimates that the consumers will buy 25 million headsets by 2018.

Only recently Samsung released the Samsung Gear VR headset and is currently priced at £169

Samsung worked alongside BBC and other TV networks in order to produce this movie theatre experience in your own home using only the headset and your S6.
