Samsung also launched Samsung Creators, partnering with storytellers to generate content for a variety of audiences and channels to show creators the full potential of its VR technology. Marc Mathieu, Chief Marketing Officer, Samsung North America said, “To help creators learn and perfect the art of VR storytelling, we’ve built an entire VR ecosystem that pushes beyond the frame and empowers them to develop unforgettable, immersive stories, and inspires us all to do the same.” Samsung also added that it wants to bring the power of VR technology directly to the people.
