"Mixed Reality"

The term "Mixed Reality" (MR) is used for videos where VR content is combined and overlapped with real-time film sequences. In order to do this, the person in the VR is recorded with the help of green-screen technology. The position of the real camera is then connected with the position of the virtual camera. External parties are then able to see what the person in the virtual world is currently experiencing.

What Are the Most Important Points to Consider When Creating VR Content?

360-degree content should captivate the user right from the start – the more exciting and real the content is, the longer the user will watch it, and the more often they’ll return. This is particularly important for brands and advertisers that want to include VR in their marketing repertoire and profit from it.

To create truly relevant 360-degree video content for the user, it’s important to pay attention to specific moments in the customer’s journey – so-called "moments that matter" – right from the very beginning.

Good examples of such moments might be “I’d like to test that product before I buy it”, “I want to experience it as though I were actually there” or even “I want to experience entertainment like I’ve never experienced it before". This is a good way to reach users and customers at exactly the right moment, which can have a positive impact on the advertising effect and result in capturing the customers’ attention, increasing brand awareness, closing a sale or making a profit.

Also, there are certain principles that should be taken into consideration when creating content:

• The User Sees Everything
  In the area of 360-degree films, professional production is particularly complex. Since the user can look around freely in the virtual environment, it is particularly important that equipment and other aids are not visible in front of the camera if they are not part of the scene. To hide these in the post-production phase is complicated and expensive.
• Take Your Time
  It takes time to tell an "immersive" story. The user wants to, should and must orient themselves within the environment. They want to understand where they are, where they’ve come from and what’s happening in order for the situation to evoke the necessary empathy. That’s why detail is such an important part of the storytelling process; it allows the user to become completely immersed in what’s happening and gives them the feeling of truly being part of the story.
• Gentle Scene Changes Increase the VR Experience Seamless transitions from one scene to the next are paramount to telling a story smoothly and without any disruptions. That’s why it’s important to avoid abrupt cuts to ensure that the user has the best possible "immersion" experience. This can be particularly disruptive and detrimental to the positive experience when using a viewer like Cardboard. Soft fading gives the viewer time to prepare for the scene change and reorient themselves in the new environment.
• Sound, Movement and Animation Effects Help to Tell the Story 360-degree technology presents film directors with new challenges. If something happens that’s an important part of the story, but the viewer doesn’t see it, it’s possible that some information is missing which the viewer needs in order to fully understand the story. Spatial audio – a 3D sound that the viewer can experience in the virtual space – can help in such cases. Furthermore, the visual design of the scene, as well as movement and animation can help to ensure that the viewers’ attention is focused on what's happening.

Conclusion

360-degree videos, "Virtual Reality," and "Augmented Reality" are new technologies that can be put to great use by brands and advertisers in a wide variety of ways to capture consumers’ attention. "Immersion" – the act of immersing oneself in other worlds – provides the user with an extraordinary experience filled with emotional intensity, thus reinforcing both customer relationships and brand recognition making the experience more effective when compared to conventional methods. This can lead to the best possible end result for both the customer and the brand if such strategies are used at the right moment and employ high-quality content.
