Kismet "VR launch trailer" (2016) :50 (USA)

This trailer is for Kismet, a one of a kind daily fortune telling experience developed by Psyop for Oculus Rift or HTC Vive featuring tarot cards, a daily astrology session and an ancient game called Ur.
Powered by a deck of 22 hand-painted Tarot cards and an accurate real-time map of the solar system, Kismet is meant to be experienced daily, with unique outcomes every calendar day that are directly tied to not only the cards that you choose, but your individual birth date and the actual alignment of celestial bodies at the time of your reading. Seated across a table from an enchanted automaton with the power to look into the future, you’ll be transported to a place where magic is real. Named after the mysterious character at its core, Kismet is inspired by the mystic arts of Tarot and Astrology, brought to life in a beautifully detailed, handmade, gothic style.

Kismet sets itself apart from other VR experiences by delivering the antidote to the many adrenaline-fueled, hardcore game experiences that populate the current marketplace. Rather than pilot spaceships or wield weapons of destruction, Kismet uses VR as a bridge to a more contemplative, spiritual place. Kismet was designed as a broadly inviting experience meant to provoke thought and discussion and appeal to a wide audience.

“I’ve been obsessed with mechanical fortune telling machines ever since I was a child,” says David Chontos, Writer and Director. “Virtual reality has given me a platform to not only create one of those machines entirely from my own imagination, but to step inside of it, and to invite the rest of the world inside with me.”

Kismet is now available for $6.99 on SteamVR for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. It will be on sale for $4.99 on SteamVR for the first week. Coming Soon to the Oculus Home.
