Bulgarians Make
One of First Film in World with Augmented
Reality


Sofia, February 25 (BTA) - One of the first augmented reality
films in the world is made by Bulgarian authors Teodor Oushev
and Georgi Gospodinov, the film's team said.

The animated film "Blind Vaisha," where the experimental
technology Oculus Rift is going to be used, will be shown in
Europe and Canada in 2015. The film is based on the eponymous
short story by prominent contemporary Bulgarian writer Georgi
Gospodinov. Vaisha is a girl doomed to see in the past with one
eye and in the future with the other.

The project is supported by the French Arte TV who approached
Oushev to produce the film last year. Arte will screen the film
in the autumn. The other producer of the work is the Canadian
National Film Board with which Oushev has worked for many years.


The animated film is the first joint project of the two authors.
