You and your friends will explore the world of Disney•Pixar’s newest film, Coco, in this social VR experience. Coming to Oculus Rift November 15 and Gear VR November 22, the day of the film’s U.S. release.” Says one of the promotional messages on social media.
The Coco VR experience was produced by Pixar in cooperation with Oculus and the help from Magnopus.
The Coco VR experience will be available for Oculus Rift users on November 15th and for Gear VR users it will be available on November 22nd, the same day of the premiere in movie theaters.
Disney will preview the Coco VR experience at Dia de Los Muertos festivities in cities such as Chicago, Oakland, San Antonio, Dallas, Phoenix, Houston, New York, and Los Angeles later this month. People will get the chance to preview the experience at select Disney stores and theaters.
