Description: Imagine becoming your favorite movie character by taking their place as the main star. Embodying Darth Vader and “altering the deal”, or stepping into Jack Sparrow’s boots and drunkenly slurring “where’s the rum?!” Innovative entertainment means taking mediums we know and love and taking a new perspective.
Another main inspiration was Ernest Cline’s “Ready Player One”. In the story, when an OASIS avatar begins a FlickSync game, they become a specific character from a movie and have to recite lines of dialogue. When the avatar speaks, they will speak in the voice of the specific character, move around as the character, see, hear, and feel anything the character would see, hear, and feel in the movie.
Review: The idea of ‘FlickSync – Mad Hatter VR’ is pretty simple, you are at the Tea Party scene on the classic adventures of Alice in Wonderland and you get to chat with the characters. Sadly for some reason, the microphone doesn’t work and I was yelling hello for 5 minutes before it finally recognised me. Sadly this…”experience” just doesn’t have a lot going for it. It’s far too short, it looks like crap and its only saving grace feature that could have saved it doesn’t work! It’s free I suppose so you can give it a try risk-free, but I really wouldn’t bother.
