14．Does the future of filmmaking lie in virtual reality （VR） films？
An ambitious team led by Yale senior Celine Tien might hold the answer to that question．
Tien produced，directed and acted in Pippa's Pan，which she says is"one of the world's first live-action VR films．"The film，which was completed in April，mixes live action with VR sections．Some of the characters were created via animation （动画） and other techniques that distinguish the film from 360° VR videos like the ones frequently seen on YouTube．
"360° VR videos are stagnant，which means you don't move with them and see a 360° view of whatever they're filming，"Tien explained．"What we're doing is immersive （沉浸式的） VR．When you put on the goggles （a kind of special glasses） you can physically walk around in the space，pick up objects and engage with the environment．It's a huge difference．"
The immersive VR film experience is different for everyone who interacts with the medium，but that doesn't mean the film's ending will change for each viewer．
The film stars two Chinese-speaking actors．"It's a love story about a woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease who is trying to bring back memories of her husband，"Tien said．
The film has already been recognized by the VR industry．After handing in a short demo to the AT&T Developer Summit Conference，Tien and her team were invited to Las Vegas in January，where they came in third place．
If you're dying to see the film already，your choices are a bit limited：Pippa's Pan can't be seen in movie theaters unless they happen to have VR goggles available．According to Tien，many theaters in China will soon have the ability，which makes sense considering China is the film's target market．
Pippa's Pan will be released in three languages：Chinese，English and Korean．"It can get spread in different ways：at film festivals with VR set ups and through HTC or Oculus headset stores，"Tien says．"If you have VR goggles you can download it and experience it yourself．We will also cooperate with movie theaters that have VR set ups．"
