Best Gear VR Experiences / Apps / Games for Artsy Adult?

September 3, 2016 5:04 PM

I got a Gear VR headset as a gift and it's amazing. Most of the "Top 10" lists out there reviewing content are geared more toward gamers. What I've enjoyed the most so far are the two Cirque du Soleil performances and some of the static, virtual art installations, and just looking for other recommendations that are similar in nature and quality. (The fact that Oculus doesn't offer capability to search their offerings makes it extra hard to find good content.)

I'm particularly interested in Dance, as I think Cirque Du Soleil really has shown what virtual reality can do when it comes to appreciating dance in a new way. (But it seems like their expertise isn't widespread--e.g., Joan Jett video's were a real let-down and didn't seem to take advantage of the technology at all.)

For an artsy game, I liked Land's End. It's short, but rather peaceful and immersive.

Response by poster: Thanks Naju--Land's End was really pretty cool. (I thought the puzzle solving was just sort of perfunctory until last one of the second chapter--fun.)

Response by poster: P.s., "History of Cuban Dance," produced by "Within," is a great video and again shows how well the technology seems suited to capturing 3D dance performances.
