VR content created with OZO VR camera and software continues multi-year
technology agreement with The Walt Disney Company
24 April 2017
NAB Show, Las Vegas, NV, U.S. - Nokia today announced its multi-year virtual
reality (VR) technology agreement with The Walt Disney Studios continues with
new immersive experiences to complement Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Last Jedi,
which arrives in theaters this December.
"We're thrilled to partner with Lucasfilm and Disney to bring the magic of
immersive VR storytelling to one of the most exciting and anticipated movie
experiences of all time," said Brad Rodrigues, interim president of Nokia
Technologies. "OZO will enable Star Wars fans around the world to be transported
into the incredible worlds depicted in the story, and truly feel the power of
The Force together."
The multi-year agreement between Nokia and The Walt Disney Studios is designed
to support the creation of VR experiences to complement Disney's theatrical
releases. Through the agreement, Nokia is providing its OZO VR camera and
software solutions to give Disney marketers and filmmakers the tools they need
to create the most immersive, transformative VR content. Previous VR activations
included experiences for Pete's Dragon, Alice Through the Looking Glass and The
Jungle Book.
"We want nothing more than to share the Star Wars universe with fans around the
world, and fans tell us they love to have the opportunity to learn more about
the process of filmmaking," said Brian Miller, Senior Vice President, Franchise
Creative & Strategy at Lucasfilm. "Utilizing the Nokia OZO to capture our
behind-the-scenes material allows viewers to be transported to fantastical
locations and virtually visit the incredible sets where their favorite Star Wars
scenes were captured."
More details on the VR content and availability for the Star Wars: The Last Jedi
VR activation will be announced at a future date.
