Nokia supports Lucasfilm to deliver Star Wars' behind-the-scenes VR technology

BENGALURU: Nokia has signed a multi-year virtual reality (VR) technology agreement with The Walt Disney Studios to complement Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which arrives in theaters this December.

The multi-year agreement between Nokia and The Walt Disney Studios is designed to support the creation of VR experiences to complement Disney's theatrical releases. Through the agreement, Nokia is providing its OZO VR camera and software solutions to give Disney marketers and filmmakers the tools they need to create the most immersive, transformative VR content. Previous VR activations included experiences for Pete's Dragon, Alice Through the Looking Glass and The Jungle Book.

Brad Rodrigues, interim president of Nokia Technologies says that the company is thrilled to partner with Lucasfilm and Disney to bring the magic of immersive VR storytelling to one of the most exciting and anticipated movie experiences of all time. He believes OZO will enable Star Wars fans around the world to be transported into the incredible worlds depicted in the story, and truly feel the power of The Force together.
