"Future Cinema" is located in Push Art Center, Puxi Financial Plaza, Putuo District. The "cinema" site is divided into four units, each unit has its own unique theme: "Oriental" Charm,” “Secrets of Art,” “Me and Me,” “Supernatural.” Here, the audience no longer just passively accepts images, but can actively participate in the world of the film and interact with the film.

This year, the "Future Cinema" unit launched 26 films, 17 of which were national premieres. Compared with last year, not only the number has been greatly improved, but the quality of the film sources is also better.

In the "Me and Me" section, a multi-person interactive VR movie called "Open Your Heart" attracted the attention of many citizens. This movie allows multiple experiencers to become explorers and experience an immersive adventure in the movie world. The novel viewing method makes the experiencer feel as if they are in the movie scene. "Compared with experiencing VR alone, the 6-person team emphasizes the interaction between people. When I touch the scene in the movie, the handle and glasses will I was shocked to hear the feedback," Mr. He, a citizen who had just finished watching the movie, said excitedly to the reporter.

Vincent, the French producer of the film, told reporters bluntly: When watching movies in a cinema, the audience is relatively "passive", but in VR movies, everyone can be more active in exploring the virtual world. ""Clock in the Heart" is an art piece Through creation, citizens can enter the world of plants, minerals and animals and experience immersive visual effects.”

In terms of single-person viewing, this year’s film festival launched VR equipment that can be experienced by up to 25 people at the same time. These devices have multiple built-in movies, creating a new interactive experience for citizens in the interplay of reality and reality, making every frame of the picture lifelike and within reach.

It is worth mentioning that the "Future Cinema" also has three racing simulators for the first time. Citizens can sit in the F1-shaped "sports car" equipment and truly experience the racing driving posture and first-person track driving experience. The roaring sound of the engine and the lightning-fast speed made the audience feel like they were real F1 racing drivers.

These cutting-edge devices are all simulating the viewing experience of the future world for citizens. Next week, the organizer will add more on Damai.com based on passenger flow.
