Focus: Funique, the innovative storytelling studio from Taiwan

Taiwan is a priceless place for immersive storytelling. At the crossroad of artistic creation and hardware innovation, the Funique studio has a highly creative role in advancing the XR industry with a complete line-up of VR films and more ambitions for 8K standards.

The year 2016 can be called the grand first year of VR. A number of stakeholders presented their VR headsets and equipment at major tech events announcing VR entering the consumer’s market. From that year on, VR HMD’s screen stays at 4K quality. For the CEO of Funique, Apu Cheng, who started his career in film long ago and in VR content in 2015, the quality of VR live-action quality is still behind what can be considered “good enough.”
