Stranger Things VR Turns Your Living Room Upside Down
Did you like Netflix’s Stephen King love letter known as Stranger Things? (Of course you did; the only people who don’t are probably Nazis.) If you’ve finished the series, you’re probably starved for any morsel of new content relating to it (join the club). Well, there’s a BIT more out there, but it’s a different experience. Would you be willing to strap on VR goggles and put yourself right into the most iconic room from the series, at the moment it receives a special visitor?
How scary is it? These people were actually IN the show and even THEY couldn’t take it. Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin all took turns wandering through the Byers living room while being stalked by the monster. Maybe it’s a bit cruel to put the smallest members of the cast through this instead of Winona Ryder, but Winona would probably smash up the entire area. Also, if you didn’t know Millie Brown had a British accent, you do now.
Now you’re thinking, “Good thing I don’t own a pair of those VR goggles, so I have a good excuse not to try this.” That’s what you think! YouTube somehow got the ride to run in a video window! Thanks to 360 Experience technology, you can look around the room yourself for about a minute. You can’t walk around like the kids can, but that just makes it harder to escape.
