How Our VR Viewing Habits Are Changing
Audiences increasingly choose concise, self‑contained episodes that respect comfort and time, often finishing a complete arc in ten minutes or less. Share your favorite short VR piece and why it earned repeat views.
Formats That Drive Engagement
360° versus 6DoF: panorama or participation
360° video delivers simplicity and reach, while six degrees of freedom rewards curiosity with movement and presence. Viewers increasingly expect light interactivity that guides attention gracefully, not a game’s complexity. Tell us your preferred balance.
Volumetric scenes and living performances
Volumetric capture lets you lean closer, circle moments, and witness subtle expressions that flat frames hide. When characters occupy your space, emotional stakes rise. What volumetric experience made you feel unexpectedly close to someone’s story?
Passthrough mixed reality expands context
Blending digital layers with your real room keeps orientation stable and minds at ease, encouraging longer sessions. Viewers enjoy utility plus spectacle—notes on the table, characters at the doorway. Share a passthrough moment that surprised you.
Devices, Inputs, and Sensory Anchors
Standalone headsets invite spontaneous viewing
Untethered devices remove cables, setup anxiety, and reliance on big rooms. That convenience turns idle minutes into meaningful sessions, especially for news, music, and short documentaries. Do you watch more because your headset is always ready?
Hand tracking and eye‑guided interfaces
Natural gestures and glance‑based selection shorten menus and speed choices, reducing cognitive load before stories begin. When interfaces feel invisible, people treat immersive media like a book on a nightstand—close, familiar, and ready.
Spatial audio and gentle haptics hold attention
Sound that maps to space anchors focus better than visual cues alone. Subtle haptics signal direction changes or highlight beats without jolting comfort. Tell us which audio detail pulled you deeper into a scene without distraction.

Live, Social, and Eventized Immersion
Fans value proximity and presence over perfect resolution, especially when crowd energy translates through spatial audio. Replays from multiple vantage points make highlights personal. Tell us your dream event to experience from a virtual front row.
Live, Social, and Eventized Immersion
Weekly gatherings anchor habits: same friends, same time, new worlds. Emotes, voice chat, and post‑show hangouts build continuity that algorithms alone cannot. Would a themed club night keep you returning to longer episodic series?
