The Blu
I thought this would be cooler. It’s just narrated animations of sea life. I’d much rather see real oceanography since there was no spatialization. The audio clicked a bunch and dropped out sooooo…….

Zen Parade
I met this guy Kevin Mack and talked about sound for what he was doing. Was kind of disappointed by the lack of spatialization or lack of sound in general. Just had music. The visuals are really cool, but this teaser is just too short and the full meal deal is only 5 minutes.

The non-vr content is just like sitting in a living room with a huge tv. I could do that without goggles.

Gondola Ride at the Venitian in Las Vegas had good spatialization but lots of comb filtering effects. The codec that was used was such that it caused lots of audible chirping.

Time Lapse Night in Joshua Tree is also stunning visually and the spatilalization worked well.

Sunset helicopter tour of Las Vegas also has good spatialization but I would have rather seen the lights of Vegas at night rather than during the day.

Hulu -This is for VR only releases. I watched The Path, which was a 2 minute meditation. The voice over was a little creepy but the spatialization and visuals were stunning.

Cirque D’ Soleil – Zarkana. This is a short but sweet promo for a bigger thing? Great spatialization. Cool platform.

The last thing I want to look at is “Escape the Living Dead”. Also pretty well done. You are in a truck during a zombie attack. Spatialization worked pretty well and although the visual effects were cheap, I’m a fan.

Then I watched “Invasion”, which was an animated thing and had good spatialization. LoVR is an animated recording of neural transmission which is really interesting concept. The video of this is also really good and kind of fun to watch as a timeline experience with lots of text and other graphics but as far as I could tell, the audio was not spatialized.
