Los Angeles, U.S. - Nokia and Technicolor today announced a partnership where
the two companies will work together to create new and compelling VR content
utilizing Nokia's OZO+ camera and OZO content creation tools. The first project
will be a series of 360 Masterclass sessions to be held at the Technicolor
Experience Center (TEC) in Los Angeles. The initial course will give
professionals an in-depth look on how to create compelling VR films and how the
medium differs from traditional cinematic experiences. As part of this
partnership, OZO+ will have residency at the TEC.
The Technicolor Experience Center is where artists and scientists from across
the industry come together to realize the full potential of immersive media. By
uniting talent from Technicolor and its award-winning creative brands with
partners from fields as diverse as gaming, animation, traditional media and
technology, Technicolor enables the ideation, exploration and creation that
pushes the boundaries of what immersive experiences can be.
Marcie Jastrow, SVP of Immersive Media and Head of the Technicolor Experience
Center, said: "In the creation of immersive content, live action cameras are key
to the storytelling process, and Nokia has invested a lot of time and research
in understanding how to provide content creators with the tools they need to
produce high quality image capture. Technicolor has a long history in applying
our industry leading color-science capabilities and image processing pipeline to
work with camera manufacturers in order to create the highest quality capture
techniques and outcomes. That is why the Technicolor Experience Center is proud
to be partnering with Nokia to offer classes that will explore the creation of
high quality immersive content."
Csilla Kozma, Head of Content Relations, Nokia Technologies, said: "We have been
working with Technicolor and its brands such as Moving Picture Company (MPC) to
deliver amazing projects like the OneRepublic's 'Kids' music video, 'Heroes,'
and 'Playtime.' The opening of the TEC allows us to elevate our relationship and
share the key learnings we have gained in virtual reality with a wider audience
through a series of Masterclasses."
Beyond the OZO+ camera and OZO Creator, Nokia's premiere VR stitching software,
Nokia has launched the new OZO Reality Platform, including OZO Deliver, OZO
Player SDK, and Nokia VR format extensions, enabling higher-quality experiences
to reach broader audiences by allowing for delivery and playback
interoperability. These technologies enable a broad ecosystem of partners to
deliver higher resolution, spatial audio, and support for mixed reality
experiences for content captured with any high-quality VR camera system.
With the ecosystem of OZO tools, Nokia is delivering the next step towards "OZO
Reality", a higher level of consumer experience defined by superior immersion,
new creative possibilities, and increased efficiency for the creation, delivery
and experience of immersive storytelling.
