Google Doodle celebrates French illusionist Georges Melies
Doodle
The doodle is Google's first-ever 360-degree interactive doodle
Today's Google Doodle honours French illusionist and film director Georges Melies. On the same day, over hundred years ago, Melies' silent film À la conquete du pole (The Conquest of the Pole, 1912) was released.
During his early years, Melies perfected and pioneered special effects and narrative film techniques and contributes heavily to the development of early cinema.
Today's doodle is called "Back to the Moon" which depicts an illusionist chasing the queen of hearts on an adventure that spans the stars and oceans.
The doodle is Google's first-ever VR or 360-degree interactive doodle which enables a viewer to enjoy an immersive experience. One can also navigate within the doodle to have an all-around experience.
The doodle is an outcome of a collaboration between Google Spotlight Stories (the company's VR storytelling arm), Google Arts & Culture, and Cinematheque Française.
