The official Youtube of the Ghost in the Shell series has uploaded a new video showcasing what the anime does best, the future – but it’s not too far off. This new video uses Youtube’s 360° Virtual Reality technology, which allows viewers to control a new unique experience, watching the assembly of Motoko Kusanagi. The trailer itself is to promote Production I.G.’s Virtual Reality Diver, following the release of Google Cardboard, a new virtual reality platform. Virtual Reality Diver is part of Production I.G.’s SIGN project and with many more similar and complex virtual reality videos to come.
