360 Virtual Reality on Chrome

     Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift, and Samsung's Gear VR all offer an interactive experience allowing students to explore worlds in an immersive environment. The downside to this new technology is the cost associated with purchasing the necessary equipment. Even Google Cardboard, which in itself is affordable requires a $300 device inside of it to work.
     For those with Android devices, one work around was the 360 video option inside the Youtube app. This let you interact with 360 videos even without a virtual reality lens set up. For those without an Android phone, there's good news. Certain 360 videos now offer the same interaction similar to Google Maps Street View. You need to use the Chrome browser to do this as it will not work on other browsers. Start one of the videos below and start interacting with the navigation tool on the upper left of the screen.
