Kino Am Berg

Virtual Reality Open Air Cinema

17th – July – 17th August 2018

Zurich’s open air and virtual reality cinema, Kino Am Berg, kicked off its Summer season on 17th July at the top of Uetliberg, Zurich’s own mountain! From 17th July to 17th August you can watch a variety of virtual reality films in the open air with breath taking views of Zurich all around.

When you arrive you are kitted out with the necessary goggles and headphones and you take a seat, get comfortable and relax. There are even blankets on hand to keep you warm.

So what’s it like? Well unlike watching a normal film where you tend to be quite static, with a VR film you actually need to move around a little so that you can see the extremities of the screen. So in a way you’re almost exercising whilst you watch! Although whilst we were there, people were trying out the “virtual reality” concept on a bike (as in the photo above) – so they were actually getting some paper exercise!

Mirjam Jaeger and Rafael Beutl were also joining in the fun

The best way of describing the experience is that you really feel “in the thick of it” – and you really feel a part of the unfolding action. So why not try out his unique experience for yourself in one of the most beautiful parts of Zurich ?
