Details of the Agreement

The IMAX VR Experience features a unique combination of premium technology and world-class content, enabling the users to see, feel, move, and play in a different environment. The centers featuring the VR Experience will be located in multiplexes, malls, and other commercial and standalone destinations while using a modular design, proprietary to IMAX. The design consists of multiple pods to allow multiple players to enjoy unique VR Experiences. The pods are designed to enhance user mobility and interaction in virtual environments and hence can be adapted for specific content experiences.

The Companies plan to launch one experience, each year, beginning with Justice League VR in Q4 FY17 where each title will receive an exclusive window in IMAX VR centers probably before the title is released for other VR platforms, including in-home and mobile offerings.

IMAX VR Developments

On November 10, 2016, IMAX Corp., and IMAX China Holding collectively announced that the Companies had completed the first phase of a $50 million virtual reality fund midst IMAX and other strategic investors, hence assisting the completion of at least 25 VR content experiences over the next three years. IMAX announced that it was in the process of launching its first pilot IMAX VR centers in Los Angeles and at ODEON & UCI Cinemas Group’s Printworks multiplex location in England.

IMAX announced the launch of first pilot IMAX VR center in Europe with an intent to deliver immersive and multi-dimensional VR experiences to users. IMAX eventually plans to incorporate premium content resulting from a cinema-grade virtual reality camera, currently under development in a partnership with Google.

At the beginning of this year, IMAX opened the doors of its first VR Centre across the grove in Los Angeles. To date, approximately 15,000 admissions have been clocked on this venue with five more centers scheduled to open this year in New York, California, Shanghai, and the UK.
