The Times delivered a cardboard virtual reality viewer to my door today with the weekend paper.I had no clue what it was or how it worked. I followed the steps and folded the viewer, downloaded the app, put my android phone in the viewer, and played the videos.
It was incredible, magical and mysterious.
Mashable explains:
After an October announcement of a partnership with Google to produce virtual reality (VR) films, The New York Times has launched its new VR app, appropriately titled NYT VR, on Thursday. The app debuted with two feature films, one titled The Displaced tells the story of three children swept up in the world's refugee crisis, and the other shows making of a recentNew York Times Magazine cover.If you did not get one from the Times, buy yourself a cardboard viewer and try it out.
VR is going to be big.
