The virtual reality video I experienced was one featuring a place of mourning in what looked to be a tunneled area. Many people gathered, from immigrant singers to a blind violinist. After it concluded, the gate holding the people inside lowered and they dispersed out into the city.
VR has the potential to be transformative in the publishing medium. Minor things like movie set visits to major events like war coverages can be experienced in the full HD display of a 360 lens and virtual reality glasses. As a result, I think people may end up feeling more for certain events if they are there at the scene nearly experiencing it for themselves.
