Is it LIVE or is it Virtual/Augmented Reality? (with apologies to Memorex and Ella Fitzgerald)

Remember this commercial?

Back in "the day" it was all about high quality audio to transport a person to another place or time.  You know, those huge headphone, high quality audio and eyes squeezed shut.


Well, now-a-days, we don't just have high quality audio - we can actually transport your reality to another location without even leaving the classroom.  (See my blogpost on VR field trips)

Here are a series of apps that you can readily load to your smart phone (with Google Cardboard) and experience a virtual transported reality.

First, of course, there is the Cardboard App to get you started with a few different experiences.


Star Wars

Fun VR/AR from a galaxy far, far away...



Discovery VR

Join the Discovery Channel on their newest adventure in virtual reality and explore the immersive world of Discovery VR. In a growing collection of dynamic 360 video experiences, you'll find exclusive clips from behind-the-scenes of your favorite shows, heart-pounding adventures and stunning celebrations of our incredible planet.


VRSE

YouVisit

Of course, you will need to get a Google Cardboard set.... you can google individual manufacturers, or just go to the Google Cardboard Home Page:

So, what are your favorite VR/AR apps?  It would be great if you shared them on the blogsite.

Regards!
