Introduction

Welcome to CamSoda's Live Virtual Reality Interactive Experience.

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 haircut.
