Description: The Discovery VR app has always been about driving curiosity – exploring new places, characters and ideas. With VR videos, Discovery embraces a new opportunity to tell these amazing stories immersing you in experiences like never before. We’re excited about what virtual reality will show us, and we’ll be adding new content regularly.
It this sort of video style the future? Only time will tell, but it does have to be said that it makes certain things like the underwater and wildlife videos seem very immersive. Pop on a pair of headphones and you might just as well be there while they film it. But I also found that some videos we just a little pointless as 360 videos. It seems maybe only certain situations and genres require it.
