Gravity VR
ABOUT
Gravity VR takes place in a surreal world with no ground beneath your feet. Everything that exists is forever falling. Houses, clothes, cars… Everything just falls. And you too. But there is no vertigo or fear. In this unique VR story, for the first time you’ll experience floating in zero gravity.
At this place you’ll meet two old brothers living a surprisingly ordinary life. Seems like nothing in this chaotic world would disturb their lonely and slow routine. Until one day…
FEATURES
- A 16 minutes long experience
- 2 brothers with very opposite characters
- 2 unique endings
- The ability to experience floating in zero gravity for the 1st time
- A singular philosophic and moving story about dialogue and differences
CREATORS
Gravity VR is written and directed by Amir Admoni and Fabito Rychter who have been working together for the last 10 years. The partnership yielded movies, TV shows and plays that have collected 71 international awards and travelled to more than 120 festivals. Gravity VR is their first virtual reality project together. But definitely not the last.
A few words from one of the director’s interview :
‘The story touches important themes like polarization, lack of dialogue and irreconcilable differences. We follow two brothers that have been tied together their whole lives but even so develop completely different points of views about how things are at the present time, how things will be in the near future and what they should do about it.
They inhabit a chaotic world with so much noise that it becomes impossible to listen properly to what the other is trying to say. Without dialogue there’s no exchange, no agreement, no middle ground. Both are firmly locked in their own views and that is enough to make living together unbearable.
I am sure this whole plot must seem fairly familiar to people in many countries right now.’

I'm a big fan of the immersion vr brings to gaming, but also, what a great way to tell a story! Really enjoyed this. Fun. Interesting style. Short, succinct, creative, thought-provoking story. Thanks for sharing your art. I hope to see more from you guys. Team Benedito, all the way!

16 minutes long, mostly visual VR experience with minimalistic visuals.
Giant white space filled with floating debris looks great, few of the cinematic techniques used are really cool and unique. The story is simple allegory and it does not feel pretentious.
There are some interactions like grabbing small items or ability to move around the space but they are inconsequential, only the last choice influences the ending.

Poignant, deeply meaningful, and more than a little devastating. Not to be missed.
I agree that it works fine on Reverb G2.
It's a short, insightful story. I experienced it much more on a personal level than a global one. Each of us can have such a different perspective, even from those closest to us. And for all that we see ourselves on firm ground, in reality, our situation is just as precarious as that of the two brothers.

The setup made me feel like the film was going to go somewhere deep. I really tried to chew this one over after a day. I believe this is meant to depict different philosophies on living life. It didn't land for me (pun intended), but I can't complain about what I got in exchange for $3. The story is well animated, narrated, and at least has something to say. If you're here, I am assuming you're into VR Storytelling. I don't think you will regret spending $3 on this personally. If you catch it on sale, even better.
It felt like about 10 minutes long, and I didn't experience any technical issues.
