Gregoire PARAIN Finally after many years, the worlds of cinema and
video games are meeting together! And it happens in those strange
VR head-mounted displays that popped-up in our lives a few years
ago. But are these words really converging through VR? Or are
they competing in a race to discover the ultimate content that will
make VR a mass media? Today, VR producers come up with their own
tools, expertise, writing style, design and, somehow, their own

audience will face two primal types of content available on VR

medium. This talk is not about predictions, but about analysing
facts and sharing some thoughts on what the worlds of film and
games bring to VR and how the audience perceives this new medium.
