00:00
All my life I've been taking stereo pictures, all through the Queen experience, I was taking
00:09
pictures of us off stage and giving the camera to people to take pictures of us on stage.
00:13
I have a great collection and I made this so that I could share it with everyone else.
00:18
When virtual reality started to be talked about I realized that this was the perfect instrument
00:23
to see it because this is optically a lot better than most of these virtual reality machines that
00:29
you'll find, it's based on sound Victorian technology.
00:33
It's a return to this kind of intimate experience, the parlour experience if you like.
00:36
What you can see is a whole universe and I think the point may come where people never
00:40
want to come out.
00:41
I've been dreaming of doing this most of my life, you know, being able to share 3D instantly
00:45
with people everywhere.
00:46
We had a VR rig with umpteen GoPros on a four-point suspension in the arena in Barcelona, in front
00:56
of, I don't know, 20,000 people or whatever and we were able to guide it around.
01:01
And so when you see this back in your OWL or your Google Cardboard or your Oculus Rift, it'll
01:06
feel like you're in a spaceship and you're in that arena watching us or watching the audience
01:10
you can look around and you'll zoom up and you'll be able to come on stage with us and experience
01:15
what it looks like to us.
01:17
I was thinking the other day, wouldn't it have been nice if we could have done this,
01:22
you know, filmed when we had Freddie around.
01:24
You know, I have lots of 3D pictures of Freddie and it's incredible how lifelike he looks.
01:30
You know, he looks so young and powerful and fit, which he was, and people go, wow, I feel
01:35
like I could touch him and talk to him.
01:37
I mean, we looked very seriously at this kind of holographic image of Freddie to be with
01:44
us live, but for various reasons we thought it wasn't right, because we tend to be very
01:48
human-based and not technologically based in the way we perform.
01:53
We have him on screen and Freddie is part of our show, but it's very obvious that that's
01:59
the way it's being done, you know, it's not a gimmick, it's just a way of having him.
02:03
And we play to his piano playing as well, which is fun, so we involve him in the way we play
02:08
at the moment.
02:09
I'm not going to say never, because it could happen, you know.
