Experience App for The Wizard of Oz
Experience Moonlight Movies: The Wizard of Oz in a whole new way! On Saturday, July 11th, you can watch the film in DWNTWN at Canan Commons with an enhanced 3D experience using a new app on your phone designed locally just for this event.
Flying monkeys, the witch on her burning broom, Dorothy’s falling house, cows, chickens, rowboats, bicycles and rainbows all appear on cue! You can use your device to explore the skies as they appear around you during the film. The app is synched to the timing of the movie with visual and sound effects to provide you with an immersive viewing experience.
Special thanks to the Ball State University Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts for developing this app here locally for DWNTWN.
