VR - A Virtual Travel Through Time

Once again this year, the Film Festival Cologne offers insight into the progress of Virtual Reality technologies. The synthesis of entertainment content and science creates new realities that revolutionize the entertainment industry. Besides the 360° experience of new worlds and progressive medical usage, this futuristic gadget even allows the recreation of the past. This festival special presents the fascinating world of Virtual Reality and transports its participants via time travel to the Cologne of the early 20th century.
