Last month we wrote up impressions of Raising A Rukus, a family-oriented animated VR film from the Virtual Reality Company. From today, Gear VR owners can get a taste of the experience for themselves.
Raising A Rukus follows two twins on their birthday that go on a fantastical adventure with their dog, Rukus. It’s intended to be the first installment in a series, bringing its characters to life in VR. You can seemlessly make choices within the story that will effect that happens next. We thought this element was so well done we barely realised we were making choices. Check out a trailer for the experience below.
Discover the unimaginable adventure that is Raising A Rukus! Coming soon to a VR platform near you!

Today, the experience launches on Gear VR. If you don’t have a headset, though, you can head to IMAX’s pilot VR center in Los Angeles to watch the first episode. It’s the first experience of its kind to be available at the center.
Raising A Rukus costs $3.99 on Gear VR.
