Google Spotlight Stories Debuts ‘Sonaria’

On the heels of the release of director Jorge Gutiérrez’s Lucha Libre-themed VR experience, Son of Jaguar, Google Spotlight Stories — the experimental unit of Google ATAP that explores immersive and interactive 360 storytelling — has come out with another new virtual reality project, Sonaria.

Directed by Scot Stafford and Chromosphere, Sonaria is a lyrical journey of two ever-changing creatures as they flow from one life form to another in an immersive tale of sound and light. The visual language in Sonaria is simple and abstract, designed to suggest, while the sonic language is layered and detailed, designed to answer.

First introduced at Annecy this past June and previewed at SIGGRAPH 2017, Sonaria had its premiere at the Future of Storytelling Festival in New York City in early October and has now debuted on both Steam and Vive Port, along with a mobile version for Android and iOS via the Google Spotlight Stories app, and Daydream.
