A new immersive entertainment experience emerges from the partnership of Warner Bros., DC Entertainment, and OTOY to take fans inside the critically acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series. This will give fans a much more initimate view of Batman’s universe using the wonders of holographic video for virtual displays like the Samsung GALAXY Gear VR, Oculus Rift and other light field displays.
“[Bruce] Timm is guiding the meticulous adaptation of the original 1992 designs into a fully realized universe with volume and depth. OTOY is also developing tools that perfectly preserve the show’s distinct visual drawing style in 3D space, without requiring any post-production work or manual artist intervention,” said OTOY in a blog post {link no longer active}.
