Description: The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there’s a spring in everybody’s step. It’s a perfect day until Ella receives a new pair of sunglasses that bring dark clouds and rain wherever she goes. Follow along as Ella does her best to dodge the rain in this charming story set in a lively London square. In this VR version of Rain or Shine, discover a neighbourhood full of other characters that make up Ella’s world, just waiting for you to “find” them.
Review: I like these Google Spotlight Stories and Rain or Shine is one of the most thought-provoking ones, but yet still a powerful and emotional story. It’s beautifully animated, emotional and it immerses you like no other medium can. Sure it doesn’t last long, but at least it is free for us all to enjoy it. Also, you don’t have to own a VR headset as you can watch the whole thing in the video below! Why not watch it and let me know what you think about it in the comments below.
