New Release of 'Cirque du Soleil' on LGU+ VR App

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] ‘Cirque du Soleil VR’ will be released worldwide for the first time on LG Uplus's 'U+VR app' starting from the 29th.

According to LG Uplus on the 28th, Cirque du Soleil VR has been steadily popular since the launch of the U+VR service last year. In particular, the newly released Alegria VR is the latest work of Cirque du Soleil VR, containing a timeless story of recovery and hope within a 14-minute playtime. To create the amazing optical illusions in the VR video, the production team used over 100 meticulously designed cameras and, for the first time in Cirque du Soleil VR, CG was used to produce it more brilliantly in 5K quality. Additionally, it is the first Cirque du Soleil work filmed with a self-produced 4th generation VR camera, providing viewers with a more immersive experience.

The first episode will be released worldwide for the first time on the U+VR app on the 29th, and it will be available on Oculus Go on the 30th. Previously, LG Uplus secured exclusive rights to sell Cirque du Soleil VR content to global mobile carriers. Through this, LG Uplus is leading the way in opening sales channels for exporting 5G content to the global telecommunications market by selling Cirque du Soleil VR content to Japan's carrier KDDI. Shin Jung-kyung, head of the VR Content Team at LG Uplus, said, "Alegria VR is a new work created after a long time by the popular VR content Cirque du Soleil," adding, "We will expand immersive content available on 5G and become a telecommunications company that owns unique 5G content in the global market."
