#ThursdayPlays: NYTVR
NYTVR New York Times Virtual Reality
Experiencing news and stories in a new way. I always thought VR always required an extension medium, however I realized we could experience nytvr without the Google CardBoard viewer.
Without it, my experience of the story was enriching and very moving. I chose to hear about an Ebola survivor. I was taken to a beach. Text faded in and out, moving images fades to black to transition to another video. I had the ability to scale the video as well, so it was interesting to see how the images are stitched.
I would like to experience this story with the immersive Google CardBoard viewer. I’m quite dizzy after one story, so I could imagine how much more intense it would be with the viewer.
