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

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.
