It on January 13th 2018, 1.4m people across Hawai’i received an SMS from the state’s Emergency Management Agency: BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
In the minutes that followed, they were forced to confront existential questions that had been unthinkable just moments before: where could they go for shelter? What would remain of their communities if they survived a nuclear blast? How could they explain to their children why we live in a world where such unimaginable destruction was possible? And how could their own Government continue to pursue nuclear policies that threaten the entire global population every day?
By the time FEMA managed to retract the incorrect warning message, it was too late to pretend that normality would resume. Their collective experience had laid bare the growing threat that nuclear weapons pose to the world. In the words of Kauai resident Cynthia Lazaroff, ‘Nothing happened, but everything changed’.
Gundam is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, and we are proud of this VR movie, “GUNDAM: Silver Phantom,” which allows anyone to experience the Universal Century timeline. With Atlas V and Albyon, We successfully integrated Gundam’s essence with VR-specific techniques.
Bandai Namco already has a life-size Gundam statue, but this VR film lets the audience experience the world, characters, and story of Gundam at full scale. That is the innovation of VR films. I will refrain from detailing the contents, but I hope everyone will see and feel it in VR and share the excitement. We believe VR movies will become a new format in the future.
