Virtual reality experiences are leveling up, and that’s evident in a new Hollywood-created VR experience dubbed Firebird: La Peri. It is a storybook fantasy that is voiced dramatically by actor John Rhys-Davies, the actor known for his roles from The Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones movies.

The interactive VR experience — I’m not sure if it’s a game — comes from Innersace VR, which used a combination of stylistic art and human motion capture. Its visuals and story are reminiscent of mythology and fairy tales, combined with advanced VR technology. The ambition is to create the Alice in Wonderland of VR.
