Michael Bay Is Developing a TRANSFORMERS VR Experience

Director Michael Bay is working on a Transformers VR experience. The director shared the news with Slashfilm and said the feature is for a project that could transform filmmaking as we know it.

Bay says his nine minute feature won't be available at home, but rather IMAX theaters...

They’re gonna build pods in theaters around the world. There are all these massive theaters, but they don’t use every theater. So they’ll build like 30 pods.

As far as the tech is concerned to shoot the project, Bay assures us it's all cutting edge. He's using a special VR camera that doesn't require "stitching" (use of multiple cameras to capture a 360-degree image) and offers a higher resolution than what you'll see even on the cutting edge HTC Vive. There's no word on a release for this, or even if the project will be completed, but we can expect more details on the project to be revealed come the release of Transformers: The Last Knight.

I have so many questions, and not nearly enough information for answers. I guess I can start by polling you guys: Would you pay IMAX pricing to see a nine minute VR experience directed by Michael Bay?
