Audience needs to have a VR headset to experience the work. Or Bit is especially designed and created for Virtual Reality and therefore can NOT watch it simply through a flat screen.
After you open the YouTube VR app in the headset, you can search key words "felttime", or "or bit", "daming zhang" to find the work. It is a 15-min 360 degrees video uploaded by the YouTube account named FELTTIME.
Technical Recommendations:
- VR Headset (4K and above resolution preferred)
- Headphone (Noise-cancelling preferred)
- Spinning Chair (Please sit down and move around to remove all the obstacles)
