CHRONOLOGY

Nicole Stenger created the first immersive Virtual Reality movie: ANGELS between 1989 & 1992.

Following Tom Furness' theory, the piece was conceived for the 3 senses: vision, audio & touch, though only vision, audio and a non tactile data glove could be implemented at the time.

The lack of computing power also reduced visuals to the bare minimum!

But the entire movie was completed. And the higher resolution visuals for a more advanced version of the technology were designed.These original models can still be experienced today. (See video)

After circumstances surrounding immersive VR made its pursuit impracticable, if not utterly dangerous, Nicole Stenger moved her VR artistic concepts to VRML, a more convivial, open to all, web-based environment.

However the 2 VRML movies: CHAMBERS (2001) and DYNASTY (2007-2009) were also conceived for immersive VR.
