This experience was super cool. I love how it tells a story without any words, just a simple song that a dad taught his daughter. The growth of the girl from just a little girl playing guitar with her dad to playing concerts and with her friends is so cool to see. Being in 360 you can drag the screen around and see everything around you and with so much going on it was a good idea to watch this twice. At first I thought the graphic design in the story was kind of weird but after watching it through I think keeping the cartoonish look compliments the overall story that is being told. The growth of 360 video and VR has progressed so much in the last few years, the gaming industry is especially furthering these technologies to create games that can be experienced in VR. Just think of playing a horror game or something like 5 Nights at Freddys (I know we all played this years ago) but play in in VR. the emotions that VR can pull from the reader/player is the closest will ever get to real-life interactions without the real life.
