Tour the White House with Obama in VR

CNET:

On Friday, Facebook’s Oculus launched a 360-video version of the tour on its social network. You can watch on your phone, moving it around you to see in every direction or you can use a Gear VR headset like I did. The 8-minute clip is a prelude to a longer virtual-reality experience to come later this year.

“What we wanted to do is make sure that everybody felt they had access to the White House,” Obama says in the experience.

“The People’s House: Inside the White House with Barack and Michelle Obama” is available as a Facebook 360 video as well as Oculus Video for Samsung Gear VR.

I watched some of this yesterday and it’s very cool.
