This Week’s New Gear VR Content (5/6/16)

Guardian VR (FREE)
The Guardian has published their first VR video experience with “6×9”, putting you in the shoes of an inmate in solitary confinement. Right now, more than 80,000 people are in solitary confinement in the US. They spend 22-24 hours a day in their cells, with little to no human contact for days or even decades. 6×9 invites you into this world, giving you a glimpse of the psychological damage of extreme isolation.
