This content is named The Hobbit VR Experience and it contains segments of Peter Jackson’s well known Middle-earth film saga grounded on J.R.R. Tolkien’s books. The VR story follows Gandalf who wanders around The Shire trying to set off fireworks. For those who are not familiar with the movie, Gandalf is a wizard and Ian McKellen played this role in the movie.
