Animaze - Montreal International Animation Film Festival

Virtual reality is increasingly becoming readily accessible. 2014 saw the launch of Google Cardboard - the DIY virtual headset - which is available for consumers to purchase at an affordable price. 2016 is set to be huge for VR, with Oculus Rift all set to launch to consumers later this month, which will no doubt open up a whole host of opportunities for advertisers. It’s safe to say that this market will only grow and that we will see a range of new entrants and innovations appear over the coming months and years. A new report by Digi-Capital predicts that investment in augmented reality has already reached $1.1bn in 2016 so far. Furthermore, about 14m virtual reality devices are expected to sell worldwide this year according to TrendForce. It’s clear that the desire for VR is already here and growing fast.

Animaze has opened up a brand new section for virtual and augmented reality projects for its third edition festival August 18-21 2016 in Montreal Canada. With the quick growth and increasing  number of new media developers from Oculus to 360 Animaze thinks the time is right to feature new content. What better place to do so than in Montreal a digital and animation hub.

With special distinguised panels to be announced shortly and a focus section on VR and AR Animaze is set forth to make its mark as a go to festival  event.

With a distinguished panel of experts VR AR and 360 Dome technology in animation, Animaze 2016 will reach a new audience and attain new heights with new media content.
