Filmmakers such as Jon Favreau, Steven Spielberg, Neill Blomkamp and countless more are exploring the rich visual canvases of VR and AR to paint their cinematic visions. Hear from some of their key collaborators on projects such as Ready Player One and The Jungle Book -- truly creative technologists who built the tools to empower this real-time revolution.
