With my VR headset on, I left the safe confines of the Tribeca Film Festival and walked through a door that led me into Jack: Part One (created by Mathias Chelebourg). When I moved my hand over red burners of a stove top, the heat was real. And with it, the reality of this virtual reality situation revealed itself: This was no mere simulation nor on-rails VR experience, but a world populated with human actors and real objects. And so we enter the next phase of mind-destroying virtual reality experiences, as highlighted by a few marquee displays at the Tribeca Film Festival's Virtual Arcade. The Tribeca Film Festival also featured perhaps the most emotionally intense VR experience I've ever encountered.
