Cosm, an immersive technology and entertainment company, has recently launched its “Premium Media Program,” featuring a range of films designed for immersive viewing experiences. These films are being showcased at their venue in Inglewood, California, which has attracted a significant audience. After watching, some attendees expressed their astonishment; one Chinese participant said it felt “as if you were walking inside the film.”
Dedicated to innovative immersive technology, Cosm covers various fields such as sports, entertainment, art, and education. Unlike traditional screens, the Inglewood venue features curved displays that envelop viewers, creating an engaging cinematic experience. Krystal, a visitor who discovered Cosm through social media ads, remarked on the venue’s modern decor and the impressive large curved screen. Once the film began, she felt completely enveloped by the world on screen, enhanced by immersive surround sound that made it feel as if she were part of the cinematic scene. She compared her experience at Cosm to her prior use of virtual reality headsets for viewing films, noting that the immersion was far more impactful in this setting.
Currently, the films being shown at Cosm include the globally popular “Orbital” and “LIQUIDVERSE.” These works guide viewers on a cosmic exploration, reflecting on humanity’s connection to the universe through diverse artistic expressions. “Orbital” offers an astronaut’s perspective, allowing viewers to experience low Earth orbit and the phenomenon known as the “overview effect.” In “LIQUIDVERSE,” attendees are immersed in a carefully crafted spatial sound symphony and handcrafted visual effects, illustrating the interconnectedness of all cosmic elements.
Cosm plans to continue expanding the library of its Premium Media Program to provide participants with more original and exclusive content, enhancing the audience experience. The program currently boasts nearly 50 high-quality immersive films, allowing subscribers to select at least four films each year from an ever-expanding collection. In addition to the premium media program, Cosm has partnered with major sports events and performances to deliver novel viewing experiences. Mr. Lin, who attended a basketball game at Cosm, shared that it felt as if he were sitting courtside, able to see the players up close, which significantly intensified the immersive effect.
