Ready Player One
Ready Player One is a Sci-Fi novel written in 2011 by Ernest Cline. The plot centers around a open-world virtual reality metaverse that has replaced most other uses for the Internet. The game, called OASIS, provides functionality for entertainment, business, shopping, gaming, and communication. The book involves many aspects of virtual reality including immersion/haptics/input, potential educational/recreational/business uses, and elements of the metaverse.
Film Adaptation
The rights to the movie were purchased by Warner Bros and is set to be directed by Steven Spielberg.[1] On June 5, 2015, UploadVR.com reported that the movie would have a VR tie-in as well as "heavy VR elements", but stated it "unlikely at this stage in virtual reality's life that a big budget Hollywood feature would have a full VR version" [2]
