In these stressful times of extended confinement, the new space will open its virtual doors to the public in a first-its-kind initiative with the ‘Break Down These Walls’ Festival, an event proposed by VRrOOm and Stereopsia in collaboration with Virtual Worlds to help the public cope with sanitary confinement by taking them to a social space where they will be able to meet other people, watch movies, explore art galleries, or dance together.

The festival is happening simultaneously on the VRrOOm Social XR cultural hub @ VRChat and the VRrOOm XR Festivals app, offering the audience a program including one VR film and one 3D movie per day for the duration of the lockdown, enjoyable in 6DoF social XR via PC and PCVR (including Quest + Link) and/or in 3DoF on mobile VR and all types of headsets (excluding Quest).

Tonight, the festival showcases A Homage To Notre-Dame, a moving 360 film shot a few weeks before the fire that damaged the iconic Parisian landmark that you can watch with your friends on the upper floor of the VRrOOm world in VRChat.

At the lower floor, a tech house party is awaiting you, melting pumping beats with some cool visuals mix. Every day is a party day! Come with your friends and dance til you drop.
