Its ‘Luoyang VR Project’ is a studio-based experience in which users are invited to experience up to 12 different entertainment zones in the ancient city of Luoyang in Henan province. Requiring headsets and using a physical space of some 300 square metres, the set-up stimulates the physical experience of high winds, waterfalls and explosions.
The project has attracted more than 5,000 users to date and will later relocate to Luoyang itself and then Beijing. “The Chinese content market provides a host of excellent IPs, but the industry is still at the beginning of harnessing the full potential of these Ips,” said Zhang Hang, senior VP of iQiyi. “The ‘Luoyang VR Project’ shows how incorporating technological innovations and a localized approach to exploring VR commercialization, original IP-based projects boost both the content market and cultural consumption at large.
