Description
The First Immersive Virtual Reality Movie.

"ANGELS" was conceived at MIT & developed at the Hitlab in Seattle. It was completed in December 1991 and recorded on video in January 1992.

This revolutionary movie was programmed for the 3 senses: visual, audio and touch, thus opening a brand new track in the History of cinema.

The immersive equipment included a 360 degree Head Mounted Display, a 3D audio system (Crystal River), and the VPL Dataglove.

Synopsis:
By touching the hearts of Angels in a colorful carousel, you are allowed to experience intense love encounters with each of them, and enter 3 new scenes: bliss, loss and fusion.
There, another touch to the heart, will open a further world. Once each path is completed, you are transported back to the revolving hub for a new selection.

"ANGELS", "CHAMBERS" & "DYNASTY" form the "VR TRILOGY".
