The Divergent Series: Insurgent Virtual Reality Experience Launches

Lionsgate today launched The Divergent Series: Insurgent Virtual Reality experience "Shatter Reality" for Samsung Milk VR, Android and IOS devices.

Designed by Reel FX, Shatter Reality brings the VR experience currently on tour to mobile devices, with a one-of-a-kind "virtual theater" inspired by the film's "Erudite Lab," as a way for viewers to experience a special, stereoscopic 3D scene from the movie. The VR experience is the culimination of the "Erudite Mainframe" website; an interactive online feature that allows users to explore the Faction society structure that is the foundation of Divergent'sworld, and enter the Jeanine Matthews' "simulation lab" in the Erudite HQ building.

Insurgent is the first major motion picture to use Google Cardboard and let fans enjoy virtual reality experiences on their smartphones. Today only, audiences that purchase tickets to Insurgent on Fandango are guaranteed an Insurgent branded Cardboard as a gift with purchase.

Lionsgate has also partnered with IMAX and Regal Cinemas exclusively to distribute Insurgent Google Cardboards in all Regal IMAX Theaters, beginning Thursday, March 19.

"Insurgent – Shatter Reality" is available on Samsung's Gear VR powered by Oculus and the Galaxy Note 4, via the Samsung Milk VR platform and in an exclusive 4D experience touring through New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin and San Francisco, prior to going live across all platforms and app stores. Fans will also be able to view the experience on Samsung Gear VR during the March 7-8 weekend at select Best Buy stores across the U.S. In the experience, users take the role of "Divergent" members of society in the film, who are captured by Jeanine Matthews (Kate Winslet) and are subjected to a series of mental "simulations" to determine the full extent of their divergence – transporting them to fearscapes from a crumbling Chicago skyscraper to a fast-approaching locomotive.
