Jena Malone at the Stand With The Mockingjay Samsung & The Hunger Games Virtual Reality Experience
Jena Malone made an appearance at the Stand With The Mockingjay Samsung & The Hunger Games Virtual Reality Experience launch party in New York city last night. The event was kicks off the Stand With The Mockingjay VR pop-up shop running Oct 9th - 11th from 11-7pm at 353 W. 14th St, at the Pop 14 event space in the meatpacking district.
Visitors will be able to experience the full 6-minute Hunger Games VR experience, which @duvalheather described as:
It's as if you're watching a super short version of the whole THG story without the end end. Flashes through different parts of [The Hunger Games] storyline. You go see Pres Snow in his rose garden. Some cool District 13 scenes. You get a peek at a sweet moment between Katniss & Rue. The seats we were in had vibration and shaking so you legit felt like you were moving.
Jena explains it in a little more detail:
ComingSoon has a detailed overview of The Hunger Games VR Experience here. And VRPill has another take on exactly what you'll be seeing here. DigitalBodies.net also has a great review of the experience here.
According to VRPill, the VR experience will launch for the public on the Samsung Gear VR on Monday, and Android, iOS (Google Cardboard) and Oculus Rift by November 20.
As you can see from the pics (thank to QuarterQuell) the pop-up shop has lots of interactive stations, a lot like the Samsung experience outside Comic Con last year. In addition to checking out the VR experience, you can create your own rebel poster, check out the upcoming Mockingjay app, play around with writing on a virtual notepad, and more. The decor is pretty stellar. Here's a video taking you through all of the stations:
You can make your own rebel poster at one of the stations.
Who else wants a Mockingjay graffiti-sprayed rose wall in their house?? Somehow, I don't think my husband will go for it..

Looks cool. I'm right down the street - will definitely check out the pop-up shop this weekend and do a review on DigitalBodies.net. Media and entertainment is changing dramatically.
