Steven Spielberg has warned that a future ruled by virtual reality is coming “whether we like it or not”.
Presenting his upcoming sci-fi film at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego on Friday, the acclaimed director addressed what has recently been a recurring topic for him.
Virtual reality, or VR, began its expansion in the film industry over the last year, with the Cannes Film Festival presenting its first VR entry this year.
Carne Y Arena (Meat And Sand) by Birdman director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu had its debut at the Croisette in May, opening alongside Spielberg’s studio animation The BFG.
At the time, the Schindler’s List director warned of the dangers virtual reality could present to the industry.
“I think we’re moving into a dangerous medium with virtual reality,” he said.
