WEBVTT 00:00:02.134 --> 00:00:03.293 When I was a kid, 00:00:03.317 --> 00:00:05.825 I experienced something so powerful, 00:00:05.849 --> 00:00:08.923 I spent the rest of my life searching for it, 00:00:08.947 --> 00:00:10.459 and in all the wrong places. 00:00:11.327 --> 00:00:13.920 What I experienced wasn't virtual reality. 00:00:14.633 --> 00:00:15.816 It was music. 00:00:16.251 --> 00:00:18.547 And this is where the story begins. NOTE Paragraph 00:00:19.797 --> 00:00:21.167 That's me, 00:00:21.191 --> 00:00:23.137 listening to the Beatles' "White Album." 00:00:23.161 --> 00:00:26.329 And the look on my face is the feeling 00:00:26.353 --> 00:00:29.099 that I've been searching for ever since. 00:00:29.938 --> 00:00:32.524 Music goes straight to the emotional vein, 00:00:32.548 --> 00:00:34.154 into your bloodstream 00:00:34.178 --> 00:00:35.509 and right into your heart. 00:00:36.157 --> 00:00:38.678 It deepens every experience. 00:00:39.717 --> 00:00:40.883 Fellas? NOTE Paragraph 00:00:41.454 --> 00:00:45.672 (Music) NOTE Paragraph 00:00:47.472 --> 00:00:49.624 This is the amazing McKenzie Stubbert 00:00:49.648 --> 00:00:51.527 and Joshua Roman. 00:00:51.551 --> 00:00:52.714 Music -- NOTE Paragraph 00:00:52.738 --> 00:00:53.932 (Applause) NOTE Paragraph 00:00:53.956 --> 00:00:55.114 Yep. NOTE Paragraph 00:00:56.630 --> 00:01:00.455 Music makes everything have more emotional resonance. 00:01:01.229 --> 00:01:03.158 Let's see how it does for this talk. 00:01:03.825 --> 00:01:07.569 The right piece of music at the right time fuses with us 00:01:07.593 --> 00:01:08.918 on a cellular level. 00:01:09.382 --> 00:01:11.662 When I hear that one song 00:01:12.502 --> 00:01:13.805 from that one summer 00:01:14.488 --> 00:01:15.665 with that one girl, 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.501 I'm instantly transported back there again. 00:01:19.963 --> 00:01:21.130 Hey, Stacey. NOTE Paragraph 00:01:22.908 --> 00:01:26.186 Here's a part of the story, though, where I got a little greedy. 00:01:26.210 --> 00:01:29.808 I thought if I added more layers on top of the music, 00:01:30.394 --> 00:01:33.646 I could make the feelings even more powerful. 00:01:33.670 --> 00:01:36.504 So I got into directing music videos. 00:01:37.432 --> 00:01:38.906 Here's what they looked like. 00:01:42.429 --> 00:01:43.672 That's my brother, Jeff. 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.121 Sorry about this, Jeff. NOTE Paragraph 00:01:46.145 --> 00:01:47.232 (Laughter) NOTE Paragraph 00:01:47.256 --> 00:01:49.203 Here's me, just so we're even. 00:01:50.682 --> 00:01:51.885 Incredible moves. 00:01:52.444 --> 00:01:53.785 Should've been a dancer. NOTE Paragraph 00:01:53.809 --> 00:01:54.931 (Laughter) NOTE Paragraph 00:01:54.955 --> 00:01:56.267 These experiments grew, 00:01:56.291 --> 00:01:59.075 and in time, started to look more like this. 00:02:01.852 --> 00:02:04.492 In both, I'm searching for the same thing, though, 00:02:04.516 --> 00:02:07.175 to capture that lightning in a bottle. 00:02:08.192 --> 00:02:09.865 Except, I'm not. 00:02:09.889 --> 00:02:13.448 Adding moving pictures over the music added narrative dimension, yes, 00:02:14.261 --> 00:02:16.785 but never quite equated the power 00:02:16.809 --> 00:02:19.553 that just raw music had for me on its own. 00:02:20.795 --> 00:02:23.949 This is not a great thing to realize when you've devoted your life 00:02:23.973 --> 00:02:26.812 and professional career to becoming a music video director. 00:02:26.836 --> 00:02:29.137 I kept asking myself, did I take the wrong path? 00:02:30.353 --> 00:02:34.204 So I started thinking: if I could involve you, the audience, more, 00:02:34.228 --> 00:02:37.230 I might be able to make you feel something more as well. NOTE Paragraph 00:02:37.901 --> 00:02:41.086 So Aaron Koblin and I began auditioning new technologies 00:02:41.110 --> 00:02:44.248 that could put more of you inside of the work, 00:02:44.272 --> 00:02:47.906 like your childhood home in "The Wilderness Downtown," 00:02:48.750 --> 00:02:52.510 your hand-drawn portraits, in "The Johnny Cash Project," 00:02:53.581 --> 00:02:54.981 and your interactive dreams 00:02:55.791 --> 00:02:57.488 in "3 Dreams of Black." 00:02:59.469 --> 00:03:01.426 We were pushing beyond the screen, 00:03:01.450 --> 00:03:03.431 trying to connect more deeply 00:03:03.455 --> 00:03:05.832 to people's hearts and imaginations. 00:03:06.745 --> 00:03:08.091 But it wasn't quite enough. 00:03:09.258 --> 00:03:14.057 It still didn't have the raw experiential power of pure music for me. NOTE Paragraph 00:03:15.443 --> 00:03:17.504 So I started chasing a new technology 00:03:17.528 --> 00:03:20.227 that I only had read about in science fiction. 00:03:20.826 --> 00:03:23.235 And after years of searching, I found a prototype. 00:03:23.871 --> 00:03:28.095 It was a project from Nonny de la Peña in Mark Bolas's lab in USC. 00:03:29.102 --> 00:03:32.170 And when I tried it, I knew I'd found it. 00:03:33.095 --> 00:03:34.587 I could taste the lightning. 00:03:35.334 --> 00:03:36.984 It was called virtual reality. 00:03:38.047 --> 00:03:40.303 This was it five years ago when I ran into it. 00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:43.592 This is what it looks like now. NOTE Paragraph 00:03:44.846 --> 00:03:48.751 I quickly started building things in this new medium, 00:03:48.775 --> 00:03:50.992 and through that process we realized something: 00:03:51.664 --> 00:03:55.081 that VR is going to play an incredibly important role 00:03:55.105 --> 00:03:56.820 in the history of mediums. 00:03:57.681 --> 00:04:00.398 In fact, it's going to be the last one. 00:04:01.390 --> 00:04:05.005 I mean this because it's the first medium that actually makes the jump 00:04:05.029 --> 00:04:08.317 from our internalization of an author's expression 00:04:08.341 --> 00:04:10.011 of an experience, 00:04:10.035 --> 00:04:12.687 to our experiencing it firsthand. 00:04:13.691 --> 00:04:15.855 You look confused. I'll explain. Don't worry. NOTE Paragraph 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.273 (Laughter) NOTE Paragraph 00:04:17.830 --> 00:04:21.020 If we go back to the origins of mediums, 00:04:21.044 --> 00:04:22.408 by all best guesses, 00:04:22.432 --> 00:04:25.398 it starts around a fire, with a good story. 00:04:25.986 --> 00:04:27.451 Our clan leader is telling us 00:04:27.475 --> 00:04:31.104 about how he hunted the woolly mammoth on the tundra that day. 00:04:32.069 --> 00:04:33.408 We hear his words 00:04:34.090 --> 00:04:37.363 and translate them into our own internal truths. 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.004 The same thing happens 00:04:40.028 --> 00:04:42.670 when we look at the cave painting version of the story, 00:04:44.241 --> 00:04:45.824 the book about the mammoth hunt, 00:04:46.472 --> 00:04:47.706 the play, 00:04:48.109 --> 00:04:49.295 the radio broadcast, 00:04:49.749 --> 00:04:50.914 the television show, 00:04:51.582 --> 00:04:52.737 or the movie. 00:04:53.532 --> 00:04:57.264 All of these mediums require what we call "suspension of disbelief," 00:04:57.288 --> 00:05:01.346 because there's a translation gap between the reality of the story 00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:04.792 and our consciousness interpreting the story 00:05:04.816 --> 00:05:06.084 into our reality. 00:05:07.081 --> 00:05:11.157 I'm using the word "consciousness" as a feeling of reality that we get 00:05:11.181 --> 00:05:14.517 from our senses experiencing the world around us. NOTE Paragraph 00:05:16.580 --> 00:05:19.377 Virtual reality bridges that gap. 00:05:19.985 --> 00:05:24.198 Now, you are on the tundra hunting with the clan leader, 00:05:24.222 --> 00:05:26.576 or you are the clan leader, 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.302 or maybe you're even the woolly mammoth. NOTE Paragraph 00:05:29.326 --> 00:05:30.961 (Laughter) NOTE Paragraph 00:05:34.218 --> 00:05:35.830 So here's what special about VR. 00:05:36.726 --> 00:05:38.305 In all other mediums, 00:05:38.329 --> 00:05:40.599 your consciousness interprets the medium. 00:05:41.044 --> 00:05:45.214 In VR, your consciousness is the medium. 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.833 So the potential for VR is enormous. 00:05:48.857 --> 00:05:50.531 But where are we now? 00:05:50.555 --> 00:05:53.141 What is the current state of the art? 00:05:54.318 --> 00:05:55.468 Well, 00:05:56.746 --> 00:05:57.935 we are here. 00:05:58.724 --> 00:06:01.872 We are the equivalent of year one of cinema. 00:06:01.896 --> 00:06:03.522 This is the Lumière Brothers film 00:06:03.546 --> 00:06:06.905 that allegedly sent a theater full of people running for their lives 00:06:06.929 --> 00:06:09.222 as they thought a train was coming toward them. 00:06:10.136 --> 00:06:13.412 Similar to this early stage of ths medium, 00:06:13.436 --> 00:06:16.977 in VR, we also have to move past the spectacle 00:06:17.001 --> 00:06:18.887 and into the storytelling. 00:06:18.911 --> 00:06:20.658 It took this medium decades 00:06:20.682 --> 00:06:23.340 to figure out its preferred language of storytelling, 00:06:23.364 --> 00:06:25.140 in the form of a feature film. 00:06:25.164 --> 00:06:28.518 In VR today, we're more learning grammar 00:06:28.542 --> 00:06:29.833 than writing language. NOTE Paragraph 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:34.431 We've made 15 films in the last year at our VR company, Vrse, 00:06:34.455 --> 00:06:36.072 and we've learned a few things. 00:06:36.801 --> 00:06:40.116 We found that we have a unique, direct path into your senses, 00:06:40.140 --> 00:06:42.949 your emotions, even your body. NOTE Paragraph 00:06:43.897 --> 00:06:45.572 So let me show you some things. 00:06:45.596 --> 00:06:46.994 For the purpose of this demo, 00:06:47.018 --> 00:06:50.083 we're going to take every direction that you could possibly look, 00:06:50.107 --> 00:06:52.320 and stretch it into this giant rectangle. 00:06:53.083 --> 00:06:55.033 OK, here we go. NOTE Paragraph 00:06:57.642 --> 00:07:01.923 So, first: camera movement is tricky in VR. 00:07:01.947 --> 00:07:04.049 Done wrong, it can actually make you sick. 00:07:04.930 --> 00:07:09.429 We found if you move the camera at a constant speed in a straight line, 00:07:09.453 --> 00:07:11.670 you can actually get away with it, though. 00:07:11.694 --> 00:07:13.421 The first day in film school, 00:07:13.445 --> 00:07:16.032 they told me you have to learn every single rule 00:07:16.056 --> 00:07:17.814 before you can break one. 00:07:17.838 --> 00:07:20.012 We have not learned every single rule. 00:07:20.036 --> 00:07:21.564 We've barely learned any at all, 00:07:21.588 --> 00:07:23.405 but we're already trying to break them 00:07:23.429 --> 00:07:25.958 to see what kind of creative things we can accomplish. 00:07:25.982 --> 00:07:29.694 In this shot here, where we're moving up off the ground, I added acceleration. 00:07:29.718 --> 00:07:32.551 I did that because I wanted to give you a physical sensation 00:07:32.575 --> 00:07:33.958 of moving up off the ground. 00:07:33.982 --> 00:07:36.475 In VR, I can give that to you. NOTE Paragraph 00:07:37.797 --> 00:07:41.871 (Music) NOTE Paragraph 00:07:43.882 --> 00:07:47.429 Not surprisingly, music matters a lot in this medium as well. 00:07:47.842 --> 00:07:49.716 It guides us how to feel. 00:07:50.354 --> 00:07:53.675 In this project we made with the New York Times's Zach Richter 00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:55.454 and our friend, JR, 00:07:55.478 --> 00:07:57.363 we take you up in a helicopter, 00:07:57.387 --> 00:08:01.325 and even though you're flying 2,000 feet above Manhattan, 00:08:01.349 --> 00:08:02.937 you don't feel afraid. 00:08:02.961 --> 00:08:05.869 You feel triumphant for JR's character. 00:08:07.022 --> 00:08:08.501 The music guides you there. NOTE Paragraph 00:08:08.525 --> 00:08:10.525 (Music) NOTE Paragraph 00:08:17.364 --> 00:08:18.971 Contrary to popular belief, 00:08:18.995 --> 00:08:21.661 there is composition in virtual reality, 00:08:21.685 --> 00:08:23.746 but it's completely different than in film, 00:08:23.770 --> 00:08:25.495 where you have a rectangular frame. 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.031 Composition is now where your consciousness exists 00:08:28.055 --> 00:08:30.002 and how the world moves around you. 00:08:30.927 --> 00:08:34.291 In this film, "Waves of Grace," which was a collaboration between Vrse, 00:08:34.315 --> 00:08:37.224 the United Nations, Gabo Arora, and Imraan Ismail, 00:08:37.248 --> 00:08:40.490 we also see the changing role of the close-up in virtual reality. 00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:45.352 A close-up in VR means you're actually close up to someone. 00:08:45.954 --> 00:08:48.597 It brings that character inside of your personal space, 00:08:48.621 --> 00:08:52.466 a space that we'd usually reserve for the people that we love. 00:08:52.490 --> 00:08:55.660 And you feel an emotional closeness to the character 00:08:55.684 --> 00:08:58.392 because of what you feel to be a physical closeness. NOTE Paragraph 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.978 Directing VR is not like directing for the rectangle. 00:09:09.002 --> 00:09:12.086 It's more of a choreography of the viewer's attention. 00:09:12.864 --> 00:09:15.458 One tool we can use to guide your attention 00:09:15.482 --> 00:09:16.915 is called "spatialized sound." 00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:19.907 I can put a sound anywhere in front of you, to left or right, 00:09:19.931 --> 00:09:21.310 even behind you, 00:09:21.334 --> 00:09:24.330 and when you turn your head, the sound will rotate accordingly. 00:09:24.354 --> 00:09:27.856 So I can use that to direct your attention to where I want you to see. 00:09:28.308 --> 00:09:30.886 Next time you hear someone singing over your shoulder, 00:09:30.910 --> 00:09:32.171 it might be Bono. NOTE Paragraph 00:09:32.195 --> 00:09:33.402 (Laughter) NOTE Paragraph 00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:41.294 VR makes us feel like we are part of something. 00:09:42.459 --> 00:09:45.968 For most of human history, we lived in small family units. 00:09:45.992 --> 00:09:47.503 We started in caves, 00:09:47.527 --> 00:09:50.960 then moved to clans and tribes, then villages and towns, 00:09:50.984 --> 00:09:53.676 and now we're all global citizens. 00:09:54.211 --> 00:09:58.011 But I believe that we are still hardwired to care the most 00:09:58.035 --> 00:10:00.532 about the things that are local to us. 00:10:01.325 --> 00:10:06.283 And VR makes anywhere and anyone feel local. 00:10:06.307 --> 00:10:08.815 That's why it works as an empathy machine. 00:10:08.839 --> 00:10:12.063 Our film "Clouds Over Sidra" takes you to a Syrian refugee camp, 00:10:12.087 --> 00:10:16.638 and instead of watching a story about people over there, 00:10:16.662 --> 00:10:20.485 it's now a story about us here. NOTE Paragraph 00:10:22.386 --> 00:10:23.896 But where do we go from here? 00:10:24.432 --> 00:10:26.889 The tricky thing is that with all previous mediums, 00:10:26.913 --> 00:10:29.283 the format is fixed at its birth. 00:10:30.182 --> 00:10:32.071 Film has been a sequence of rectangles, 00:10:32.095 --> 00:10:34.934 from Muybridge and his horses to now. 00:10:35.377 --> 00:10:36.927 The format has never changed. 00:10:37.654 --> 00:10:41.101 But VR as a format, as a medium, 00:10:42.370 --> 00:10:43.619 isn't complete yet. 00:10:44.767 --> 00:10:47.966 It's not using physical celluloid or paper or TV signals. 00:10:47.990 --> 00:10:51.809 It actually employs what we use to make sense of the world. 00:10:52.642 --> 00:10:56.545 We're using your senses as the paints on the canvas, 00:10:56.569 --> 00:10:57.891 but only two right now. 00:10:59.653 --> 00:11:03.493 Eventually, we can see if we will have all of our human senses employed, 00:11:03.517 --> 00:11:07.712 and we will have agency to live the story in any path we choose. 00:11:08.575 --> 00:11:11.031 And we call it virtual reality right now, 00:11:11.055 --> 00:11:13.849 but what happens when we move past simulated realities? 00:11:15.345 --> 00:11:16.775 What do we call it then? 00:11:17.503 --> 00:11:20.339 What if instead of verbally telling you about a dream, 00:11:20.363 --> 00:11:23.137 I could let you live inside that dream? 00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:27.487 What if instead of just experiencing visiting some reality on Earth, 00:11:27.511 --> 00:11:31.937 you could surf gravitational waves on the edge of a black hole, 00:11:31.961 --> 00:11:34.737 or create galaxies from scratch, 00:11:34.761 --> 00:11:37.845 or communicate with each other not using words, 00:11:37.869 --> 00:11:39.772 but using our raw thoughts? 00:11:41.254 --> 00:11:43.335 That's not a virtual reality anymore. 00:11:44.052 --> 00:11:46.398 And honestly I don't know what that's called. 00:11:46.884 --> 00:11:49.216 But I hope you see where we're going. NOTE Paragraph 00:11:50.629 --> 00:11:54.351 But here I am, intellectualizing a medium I'm saying is experiential. 00:11:54.839 --> 00:11:56.265 So let's experience it. 00:11:56.845 --> 00:12:00.040 In your hands, you hopefully hold a piece of cardboard. 00:12:01.143 --> 00:12:02.776 Let's open the flap. 00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:05.333 Tap on the power button to unlock the phone. 00:12:06.145 --> 00:12:07.769 For the people watching at home, 00:12:07.793 --> 00:12:09.629 we're going to put up a card right now 00:12:09.653 --> 00:12:12.883 to show you how to download this experience on your phone yourself, 00:12:12.907 --> 00:12:16.208 and even get a Google cardboard of your own to try it with. 00:12:17.275 --> 00:12:19.802 We played in cardboard boxes as kids, 00:12:19.826 --> 00:12:24.410 and as adults, I'm hoping we can all find a little bit of that lightning 00:12:24.434 --> 00:12:27.208 by sticking our head in one again. 00:12:29.615 --> 00:12:31.044 You're about to participate 00:12:31.068 --> 00:12:35.520 in the largest collective VR viewing in history. 00:12:36.236 --> 00:12:39.854 And in that classic old-timey style of yesteryear, 00:12:39.878 --> 00:12:42.109 we're all going to watch something 00:12:42.133 --> 00:12:44.130 at the exact same time, together. 00:12:45.019 --> 00:12:46.442 Let's hope it works. 00:12:46.466 --> 00:12:48.651 What's the countdown look like? I can't see.

NOTE Paragraph 00:15:50.333 --> 00:15:51.974 (Applause) NOTE Paragraph 00:15:51.998 --> 00:15:55.817 I believe that everyone on Earth needs to experience 00:15:55.841 --> 00:15:57.421 what you just experienced. 00:15:58.036 --> 00:16:01.203 That way we can collectively start to shape this, 00:16:01.227 --> 00:16:03.001 not as a tech platform, 00:16:03.025 --> 00:16:04.600 but as a humanity platform. 00:16:05.498 --> 00:16:08.682 And to that end, in November of last year, 00:16:08.706 --> 00:16:11.992 the New York Times and Vrse made a VR project called "The Displaced." 00:16:12.016 --> 00:16:14.362 It launched with one million Google cardboards 00:16:14.386 --> 00:16:17.859 sent out to every Sunday subscriber with their newspaper. 00:16:17.883 --> 00:16:20.401 But a funny thing happened that Sunday morning. 00:16:20.425 --> 00:16:21.747 A lot of people got them 00:16:21.771 --> 00:16:25.977 that were not the intended recipients on the mailing label. 00:16:26.001 --> 00:16:29.545 And we started seeing this all over Instagram. 00:16:33.059 --> 00:16:34.239 Look familiar? NOTE Paragraph 00:16:36.252 --> 00:16:38.395 Music led me on a path 00:16:38.419 --> 00:16:41.468 of searching for what seemed like the unattainable 00:16:41.492 --> 00:16:42.745 for a very long time. 00:16:43.466 --> 00:16:47.437 Now, millions of kids just had the same formative experience 00:16:47.461 --> 00:16:49.202 in their childhood 00:16:49.226 --> 00:16:51.530 that I had in mine. 00:16:52.316 --> 00:16:54.545 Only I think this one 00:16:54.569 --> 00:16:55.727 surpasses it. 00:16:56.358 --> 00:16:57.508 Let's see 00:16:57.859 --> 00:16:59.009 where this 00:16:59.573 --> 00:17:00.723 leads them.
