Stack: Python, Unity, C#, ComfyUI, Modal, GCP

A movie theater experience where you watch a film in VR. You put on a Meta Quest, take a seat, and the picture wraps around you. No movie is shot that way, so we built our own pipeline to convert one, using generative video models on serverless GPUs. Later featured on The Joe Rogan Experience.
