Bigscreen creates a simulated theater experience in virtual reality. That’s the theory of the case adopted by Bigscreen, a Bay Area startup that today announced a partnership with Paramount Pictures to distribute classic 2D and 3D films through the company’s social VR movie-watching platform. “Bigscreen’s virtual reality platform offers a new way for fans to experience films in their homes,” said Bob Buchi, the President of Paramount Pictures (Home Entertainment). 2D and 3D films are screened on a virtual IMAX that provides an immersive viewing experience within an immersive viewing experience. The company also works with hardware partners to create crisp, optimized displays that reduce the fatigue usually associated with long sessions using VR equipment.
