12 Upcoming Movies That Could Change Things Forever

5. The First Ever Oculus Rift Movie

Oculus Rift is sure to be one of the must-have gadgets of the next few years, a Virtual Reality headset which, in its primary use for video games, gives players a more immersive experience than they've ever had before. However, the prospect of using the device for watching movies is already out there, and even if early responses to using the Rift to watch existing movies has been decidedly mixed, there's surely a market for movies designed solely with the VR experience in mind. Imagine watching a movie on the Rift and, as you turn your head, you're able to explore the room in which the scene is taking place. Though this would unarguably undermine the role of the director whose job it is to decide where your attention should be focused, with the right kind of movie, it'd make for a fascinating new way to experience the world of cinema. This sort of hypothetical production would be enormously complex and is years away from being realistic, but even if it's a gimmick, it's a fascinating prospect for the future of movies.
