When you stand in a traditional audience, you have a wall of amplified sound coming at you from one direction. Everyone's familiar with that.

As entertainment and storytelling move in the direction of more immersive environments, binaural sound will begin to play a larger and larger role in those experiences.

Your head is a stereo input. The density and cartilage of your ears embed certain extra characteristics into stereo sound sources. Your brain decodes that and gives you sound plus conscious directions.

What we want Vrse to be is a collection of the best in class - the greatest cinematic VR that you can see, and a place that you can trust.

If there's a new HBO series, you know there's going to be a certain level of storytelling mastery - that you can trust it.

Web projects aren't done until I'm happy, or someone changes the password to the server. A formal release does not stop me from working on it more.

I was born into a world in which the most compelling stories are through film. But that wasn't always the case. Everything changes; everything evolves.

Film is this incredible medium that allows us to feel empathy for people that are very different than us and worlds completely foreign from our own.

With Street View, you're curating a data set capable of incredible emotional resonance for the person interacting with it because everyone grew up somewhere. And if your house is in this dataset, that's going to provide some emotional context for you.

Virtual reality is the 'ultimate empathy machine.' These experiences are more than documentaries. They're opportunities to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.

With virtual reality, I'm not interested in the novelty factor. I'm interested in the foundations for a medium that could be more powerful than cinema, than theatre, than literature, than any other medium we've had before to connect one human being to another.

So much of journalism is conveying a place and time that existed, to someone at a later date: giving a person the context and trying to make them feel as informed as if they were actually there.
