Top 8 VR Animations and Comic Con Cosplays
Virtual reality has been making waves in the animation and comic realms.
For animators, traditional 2D visual media tend to appear linear and involve locked off shots or camera angles, VR experiences feature multiple vantage points are similar to real-world experiences. This requires animators to think of VR animation from new perspectives, especially when they’re creating large-scale VR experiences.
For comic con organizers, VR offers more possibilities to engage their supporters and communities. Those unable to attend get a chance to take a sneak peak at the event, and those attending can also enjoy a virtual tour to recap their visit to not miss a thing.

Nishiwaki Ayano was also one of the first 3D artists to have published their work on VeeR. He’s known for creating animation using MMD (MikuMikuDance), a 3D animation program developed by Yu Higuchi for vocaloid characters.

San Diego Comic-Con International is world’s largest multi-genre entertainment and comic convention held annually in San Diego, California, United States.
It was founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention in 1970 as a single day event, which then evolved into a four-day event (Thursday–Sunday) held in July at the San Diego Convention Center since 2013.
Originally showcasing primarily comic books and science fiction/fantasy related film, television, and similar popular arts, the convention has since included a larger range of pop culture and entertainment elements across virtually all genres, including horror, animation, anime, manga, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels. In 2015, the con entertained 167,000 attendees; tickets for the 2018 SDCC have already sold out.
