This 36m long VR film is the longest story I have seen so far in VR, however it didn't feel long.
It is adapted from the short story with the same name by Philip K Dick, which was a good read. The VR adaptation brought the story to life and delivered more than I expected by introducing an additional character into the storyline.
The 360 environments had a great post-apocalyptic feel and lots of details packed into it, which is perfect to be presented in VR as I could look around and explore.
I'd strongly recommend anyone to watch this in VR as I think it's leading VR animation in the right direction for the future.

Shennong: Taste of Illusion
(2017)
Very nice VR experience
12 March 2019
Got this for $2.49 from VeeR on my Oculus Go. I'd say it the experience was beyond my expectations, and I'm really pleased to see the level of picture quality, animation and music of VR films in recent months.
The story is pretty easy to follow even though there was no dialogue, and the visuals of the battle scene were the best part of this short film. I wish there was more background or explanation of who the guy is though,
Music was also another highlight for me as well, it ties in well with the story and mixed with Chinese elements.
Overall, a great experience.
