Moved By Sound - New Research from Pollen and Emteq Labs

In 2017, an intimate, heart-warming story of a father’s ‘on the road’ relationship with his daughter, encapsulated in song and brought to life in VR, emerged from Google’s ‘Spotlight Stories’ department, and quickly rose to prominence as a shining example of how to do emotional storytelling right in the new immersive medium.

Pearl, directed by Patrick Osborne and with music and sound by Pollen Music Group, was nominated for an Oscar and went on to win multiple awards across the XR industry and beyond.

But what was behind its success? There were stories of audiences at film festivals emerging from the experience with tearful faces, overwhelmed with the power of the experience.
