The Harvest VR
The Harvest VR is a groundbreaking virtual reality experience that debuted on October 26th, 2017, at Chapman University. Developed by Chapman University and AMD, this short but intense live-action VR film immerses players in a decaying barn setting. The story follows a disturbed farmer who has mummified his latest victim—now a scarecrow—and prepares to target the player as his next target. Played in first-person, the game blends suspense and action while remaining accessible to non-horror audiences. The premiere took place at the university’s Digital Media Arts Center, transformed into a chilling environment for the event. Attendees experienced the film in groups, with some choosing to have their arms restrained to heighten realism. After the initial screening, participants could continue their journey through a haunted, house-like structure, engaging with The Harvest VR in dedicated pods. Friends waiting in line could enjoy the atmosphere and witness others’ reactions. The Harvest VR offers a unique blend of storytelling and interactivity, making it a standout title for VR enthusiasts. It’s a must.
