With the arrival of the technology VR (virtual reality), audio-visual media such as film, video games and television, seek to find the way to expand the way in which we consume this kind of entertainment.
although the technology VR is more closely tied to video games, television is the medium that seeks to be on par with this new technology, bringing several interesting proposals to the table.
however, many still doubt that the technology VR can be used properly on tv… to be that no one sent the memo to a channel SyFy.
For many, SyFy is synonymous with sharks, sharks against octopus, sharks against the machines; the sharks fused with machines and well… things as well. Although, of course, keep in mind that the soul of this channel are the series of science fiction, which is why his new proposal is based on this gender.
Halcyon, is the first in a series hybrid between television and virtual reality:
a few days Ago, we had the opportunity to experience first-hand this experience called Halcyon. To start, we saw a clip of 5 minutes in which we are told the premise of this series.
"it Is the year 2040 and the Virtual Reality, has become more than just a mode of entertainment being the company Halcyon, founded by Blake Craighton, the pioneer in this new field.
Going beyond the television and video games, Halcyon has developed virtual beings with whom, many people around the world organize their daily life, by arranging things before you left for mobile devices.
But as everything in science fiction, a fraction of the society has risen up against Halcyon and its products, reaching to take extreme measures of segregation between humans with implants VR and those that detest this technology.
All of this will explode, after Blake Craighton is killed to be hanged, but in his body there are marks of an attack, what leads you to think the detective Jules Dover to believe that this was a homicide virtual."
After this, is when the real strength of Halcyon is present, because instead of see how the characters resolve the case, we take your paper and using a device Oculus Rift or Samsung Gear VR, we will go to the scene of the crime to discover that was what happened.
Halcyon will feature 15 episodes in this first season, with 10 chapters traditional and five Virtual Reality. At the end of the episode regular, to connect with the application of Halcyon, we will enter into a way as a detective, similar to the series Batman: Arkham.
In this way, we can experience a sneak preview of the series, to be us who have to discover what happened to the analysis of the crime scene and follow the clues to find the culprit.
The mechanics are very simple and in a certain way, it emulates a video game with controls very limited. These sections VR, can be expanded by up to an hour, or at least that is what they told us in charge of transmitting this series.
But for those who want to enjoy the regular series, before the start of each episode broadcast by the channel SyFy, we will present a recap of the chapters VR.
Unfortunately, these sections, VR can only be seen through devices Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR, in addition to having to buy the device in the case of the latter, we need to have a cell phone Samsung to use it and to make matters worse, the Oculus Rift is not exactly cheap.
it Is possible that in the future other platforms are compatible with this program, which is a good introduction to the technology, VR on television.
No doubt that Halcyon to be a success, because despite the fact that its premise is more used than anything, the innovation of linking the tv with the Virtual Reality, converts it in something unique, in addition to that it has turned into the pioneer of the evolution of the television.
Halcyon opens today at 09:00 pm and can be seen in the channel SyFy. It is time for us to become detectives and desenmarañemos the mysteries of this series, while we ask the question: what is better?, what our reality or the virtual?
