WHERE ANGELS MEET, A Cinematic VR Experience, to Launch on Oculus Rift

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an angel? Where Angels Meet, a new cinematic VR experience, launching September 1 exclusively for Oculus Rift, follows the life of a young African-American man named Marcus from the perspective of his guardian angel. The VR experience allows viewers to don their wings and visit heavenly landscapes, as well as transcend time to witness key moments in Marcus' life.

Where Angels Meet was created by Angeles Vista Creative Ventures (AVCV), one of the winners of 2017 Oculus Launchpad program. AVCV also announced today that it has released the first trailer for the experience.

Where Angels Meet is a unique, narrative VR experience which touches on themes of the afterlife, spirituality, faith, racism and the common challenges of life. The story follows important milestones and events in Marcus' life. Having grown up with the understanding that his mother died in childbirth, Marcus finds solace in his imagination and strength in his beliefs, as he transports himself to the marvelous "Garden of Light" where he can meditate and find comfort from life's worries.

"Although Where Angels Meet is a fictional story, the aim is to provide insight into the life of a young African-American man, from a unique perspective," said Micah Jackson, CEO of AVCV and creator of Where Angels Meet. "Marcus' story parallels many of the issues and challenges that people of color face in the modern age and virtual reality is a powerful medium to convey this message."

The "Garden of Light" is a wondrous, lush and beautiful place and serves as the central HUB of the experience, as throughout the story different sections of the Garden will be visited. The "Garden of Light" is one of the most beautiful environments to ever be created in virtual reality. It will truly leave a lasting impression on viewers and can only be seen using the Oculus Rift.
