In this episode of Dr. VR, I sit down with Jonathan Griffith, director, producer, and sports photographer, to explore the making of his groundbreaking VR film Touching the Sky, co-produced by Meta and Red Bull. Filmed across the French Alps and the Himalayas, the documentary captures wingsuit flying, paragliding, and other adrenaline-fueled sports in stunning stereoscopic 360°.

Jonathan reveals the creative and technical challenges of filming extreme sports in VR, why this medium demands raw honesty with no retakes or tricks, and how immersive media is reshaping storytelling for audiences worldwide. Whether you’re passionate about virtual reality, filmmaking, or extreme sports, this conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to capture the impossible.
