CANNES, France: What if you could both watch a film and be a character in it: perhaps an animated bunny fighting off inept aliens or a humanoid robot struggling with its identity? 

Virtual Reality (VR) – which is revolutionising everything from gaming to surgery – is doing this so successfully that it secured a special slot at the world’s premier film festival in Cannes this year where dozens of VR movies are being shown.
