If you still haven't dipped your toes into the world of virtual reality, the Academy Awards just gave everyone another reason to pay attention to the emerging format.
Google's VR film Pearlhas been nominated for an Oscar in the category of best animated short film.
SEE ALSO:Facebook's VR social network is surprisingly stunningReleased in 2016 as a part of the Google Spotlight Story series, Pearltells the heartwarming story of the relationship between a father and his daughter over the course of their lives.
Centered in a hatchback car, the story seamlessly moves from high and low moments in the lives of both family members as you, the viewer, get to immersively experience the passage of time and emotions from the passenger seat of the car, right next to the characters in the film.
Credit: google"I continue to feel proud of the world wide team of artists and coders that made Pearla reality," Patrick Osborne, the director of the film, said in a statement. "Thanks especially to the pirates of Google ATAP for rallying behind our little labor of love and thanks to the Academy for this morning's recognition!"
The nomination of Pearlfor Hollywood's most coveted award is the first VR headset-compatible film ever tapped for the honor, and sets the stage for more VR films to compete for the attention of Hollywood and mainstream viewers as the platform continues to expand beyond gaming.
The roughly five-minute film can be viewed for free on the HTC Vive or on YouTube as a 360-degree video (above), optimized for the Chrome browser.
"Pearlis dedicated to all parents and those that create beauty and possibility out of everyday life," David Eisenmann, the film's producer, said on Tuesday. "Thanks to the Academy and the heart and spirit behind Google Spotlight Stories and our global crew that made it possible."
Update: Monday, Feb. 6, 2 p.m. ET: An Academy Awards spokesperson finally responded to my request for more information on this nomination and it turns out there’s a twist: The nomination itself had nothing to do with the VR version of the film. The version of the film submitted to the Academy was a format (digital) for theatrical presentation, not VR. So while Pearl does enjoy the distinction of being available in VR and nominated for an Oscar, its VR pedigree has nothing to do with the nomination.
