“So like, there’s a tree here, a tree here… and a brontosaurus.”

“Ok, alrighty mister shark!”

These are just some of the phrases heard when folks tried out virtual reality for the first time.

We took a Samsung Gear VR into New York and let people experience the virtual world. They saw dinosaurs, went cage diving with a shark, sat courtside at a basketball game, and some even witnessed a superhero battle – just by putting on the headset while standing in Herald Square. Imagine being virtually transported to new world and looking around at the environment verses just looking at it on a flat display.

If you’re curious to see what they saw, visit a Verizon Wireless store and ask for a virtual reality demo. Use the store locator to find the nearest store near you.

Oh, and the above footage was recorded using a Samsung Galaxy S7.
