MovieMask, developed by a Norwegian startup, is a wearable headset that lets you enjoy movies anytime and anywhere. The company does not want to call it a Virtual Reality headset but instead describes it as a portable cinema.
Why MovieMask?
There is something unique about the experience you get from the MovieMask and its awesome portability and ease of use. There are many ways of watching movies and TV shows. While smartphone displays are improving all the time they won’t give you the same immersive feeling as you get in a movie theatre. With MovieMask you can now use your smartphone to get the cinema experience at home on the sofa, in the park, at the bus or while flying.

Founded in May, 2016 by two Norwegians Eirik and Harald, the company launched a crowdfunding campaign for its first product the “MovieMask 1.0” in September of the same year.
The duo says after watching Quentin Tarantino’s Hateful Eight in a cinema in San Francisco, they were amazed by the cinema feeling. They started thinking about how todays media consumption is more and more mobile driven. So, they decided to develop a device that will let you enjoy movies anywhere you go.
The MovieMask team consists of entertainment engineers from Trondheim, Norway and they’re determined to make fun and engaging products that are easy to use.
