Virtual Reality

Introduction

Welcome to CamSoda's Live Virtual Reality Interactive Experience. This will be a recurring show Wednesdays at 9pm, starting December 15th. The VR room can be found at: http://www.camsoda.com/virtualreality

You do not need any special hardware to experience Virtual Reality within a web browser. You can spin the view around in 360 degrees.

For a more immersive experience you can purchase a Virtual Reality headset, Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear.

Google Cardboard is the least expensive at about $20 and pairs with your smartphone to create an awesome immersive experience for less than the cost of a hair cut.
