VR Oculus Rift 3D Movies - The Complete List

Updated compilation of VR Oculus Rift movies. As Virtual Reality is getting bigger and bigger, it’s only a matter of time till we get regular movies or cartoons made specifically for VR devices. We do not know how long they will be but as far as we know, they work best if done in short bursts.


Upcoming VR/ Oculus Rift Movies (Movies That Are Made Specifically For VR/ Oculus Rift)

1. Name: MansLaughteroculus rift movies

Genre: Crime, Mystery, Thriller

Director: David Marlett

Made by: Cinemersia

Release Date: August 15, 2015

About: Five people in tangled relationships discover an extraordinary opportunity: one of them has won a $265 Million Lotto ticket and is cautiously waiting to turn it in. But delay is not his friend, nor are the other four, as it gives them time for deception, double-cross and murder in order to claim the ticket for themselves. But who will end up with the money? Pay attention all around you to find out.

In this revolutionary, original film, you’ll have a never-seen-before experience. After putting on virtual reality headgear (like an Oculus or GearVR), you’ll find yourself in a virtual world, amid a web of lies and murder. Here time is collapsed and four scenes (that would otherwise happen on different days in the real world) are happening simultaneously all around you.

2. Name: INNERDRONEoculus rift movies

Genre: Action

Director: David Marlett

Made by: Cinemersia

Release Date: Early 2017

About: Master Sgt. Marina Peters was just doing her job.  As a U.S. Army Special Forces Drone Ranger, she came to work each day in fatigues, ready to do battle, ready to assault an ISIS target, ready to save the day, ready to kill if necessary, whenever and wherever she was required to go…in Tampa, Florida.  Then she would drive home each night, half-baked, to her children and her crumbling marriage.  But when she was on base, in that contact room, Marina was a force to be reckoned with…thousands of miles away.  There, inside her assigned DX, her battle drone self, she was invincible. Or so she thought. So we all thought. Until that Tuesday at 1:16 in the morning…on that goddamned, windswept mountain in Syria.

In this gripping, first-in-the-world, hybrid framed/VR series, experience humanity and machine in a combination of traditional filmmaking and virtual reality cinema.

3. Name: ARAPAHOoculus rift movies

Genre: Unknown

Director: David Marlett

Made by: Cinemersia

Release Date: Early 2017

About: In 1852, on the Great Northern Plains of America, Black Eagle rouses his Arapaho hunters, plays with his children, and eats smoked venison strips as his sister paints his face for the hunt. When finished, he pauses to lift prayers to the Spirits. It will be three days before he and the buffalo party return, hopefully with the success he now prays for. But all know his other prayer, what weights his heart and fills his thoughts. His wife, Sun Bird, was kidnapped by a Pawnee raiding party over two moons prior and remains lost. Every ride out, every hunt, is a chance for Black Eagle to search new ground, to seek any sign of her. Today he feels she is near.

In this first-of-its-kind, virtual reality feature film, you will be immersed there on the prairie, out with the tribe, and there you will hear Black Eagle’s prayer and you will get to make that pivotal decision early in the film.  That decision will decide the fates of Black Eagle, Sun Bird, and his Arapaho tribe. If he rescues his wife, they will miss the roaming herd and one among them will be killed. If he doesn’t find her beads that lead to her, they will have a successful hunt, the tribe will have buffalo for the coming winter, but his wife will be lost forever.

4. Name: BLUE HIGHWAYoculus rift movies

Genre: Unknown

Director: David Marlett

Made by: Cinemersia

Release Date: 2018

About: After two strangers pass each other on a lonely highway, they’re each pulled over and taken to an isolated police station where they’re interrogated about a murder that maybe one or both of them committed. This immersive, surreal journey into the realms of forgiveness, despair, guilt and love is an experience that will take hold of you…and never let go.

BLUE HIGHWAY will be the first full-length, live-action, dramatic movie made for experiencing inside virtual reality.

5. Name: Lostoculus rift movies

Genre: Unknown

Director: Saschka Unseld

Made by: Oculus Story Studio

Release Date: End of 2015 

About: Lost takes the viewer on a journey to a moonlit forest inhabited by an unexpected creature.

Lost was built in Unreal Engine 4 for Crescent Bay and mixes hand animation with procedural animation to better transport the viewer. The team has been working to expand Unreal 4’s cinematic and storytelling toolset — Lost uses custom gaze controls to tailor the experience to the individual viewer, allowing for a unique pace to the story each time.

6. Name: Bullfighteroculus rift movies

Genre: Unknown

Director: Unknown

Made by: Oculus Story Studio

About: This animated movie is targeted more towards children. We enter into the story on the day of his birthday. He is all alone and he makes a wish for more friends.

When you start, you sit right there where Henry lives. By interacting in the movie (yes, it is now a thing in VR), you’ll notice that you just want to hug him.

8. Name: Dear Angelicaoculus rift movies

Genre: Unknown

Director: Unknown

Made by: Oculus Story Studio

Release Date: End of 2015 

About: “It will put you in a comic book world.”

All of these animated movies will give you a 360 VR experience you cannot try anywhere else. Although little is known how it all works and will work in the future, there is at least some level of interactivity in them. According to The Verge, some scenes may only trigger if you look at it.

But, as these films are not yet released, I can give you a list of all the movies that give you a good 3D experience (all the fake 3D movies were removed)

How Does it Feel And How to Setup

Trust me on this one, Oculus Rift gives you a much better 3D experience than theaters and cinemas do. Even home theaters do not live up to the level of 3D quality. Now you can argue about the resolution, but since VR head-mounted displays will get better and better each year, I don’t think it’s going to be a problem for the long-term.

What Oculus Rift really takes advantage of is scale. No other device can give you this kind of experience. It’s as if you are truly there, in full size. The feeling of elephant coming closer to you, huge skyscrapers towering over you, and all the other scaled objects can give you shivers, literally. And if to add the real 3D, no layer bull****, I start to believe that Oculus Rift movies, or soon-to-be-called VR movies will conquer the world of cinema. Why would you buy an expensive flat screen TV, why would you go to cinemas? Well, actually I would go just because it’s a bit louder there, and going to cinema with friends makes more sense. But other than that, I really don’t see any other advantages.

If you also want to experience at least the 3D movies mentioned above, first you need to do is download:
  • LiveViewRift (you can try other VR movie programs).
  • Have Rift in extended mode.
  • Start LiveViewRift.
  • Press “+” and type the name of the movie you are going to watch.
  • In the Layers section set Current Layer to layer 1 (Background). Set Type to Video. If there are any other Layers delete them.
  • Drag the video file to the Video-Path/Url window.
  • Press “test” in Cam-Setup to see if the video actually plays and it is in the format you think it is in.
  • In the Environment Section set Scene = Black and check the Scene Placement
  • Check Start in Full Screen, Pacific Full Screen, Show Hud on Start Up. Uncheck Show H&S Warning.
  • Click Start and put on HMD. You should see the HUD. Look straight ahead with the head level.

With the help of iFastime Video Converter Ultimate, you can transform protected and region-locked DVD/Blu-ray and other 4K/SD/HD video in any formats to VR headsets with excellent 3D effect. If its 2D to 3D conversion function doesn’t attract you. It also enables you to adjust 3D effect and reset the output video size to get better 3D movies for Gear VR, Oculus Rift DK2, VR One, Google Cardboard, etc.
