YouTube
When Virtual Reality meets YouTube, there is no separation anymore between you and the video. You live inside the video, meet a new person who can be your virtual friend, hear him talking. That person could be a staff from Google.
Or even dancing whales.

Google Street View
With Google Street View, you can do this with your friend:
- One of you wears Cardboard VR Viewer.
- The one who wears BeThere Book—you have to choose a random destination.
- Pick and open the 360-degree image.
- Put it inside BeThere Book.
- Describe it really, really detail to your friends in English—and, don’t mention anything too obvious.
- Your friend only has one chance to guess, and you only have one minute to describe. If your friend cannot answer it, give a punishment like truth or dare.
