For fans of VR, 2016 promises to be an exciting year, buthigh costs suggest that most headsets will remain out of the reach of the public. For the rest of us, there's always Google's ultra-cheap Cardboard headsets. But while there are games and movie apps for the more expensive headsets, the content available for cardboard is a little limited.
Google's Street View offers some great content for VR - you can look around the world and feel really transported. Street View isn't available in all countries though, and you can't use it in India for the most part. Google ran into regulatory hurdles in the past though it was announced that Street View is coming to Hyderabad. Aside from that, Google also has 360-degree imagery of heritage sites.
However, any user can upload a photosphere to Google Street View, and if you pop the phone in your Cardboard, this can be a great way of finding really cool new photospheres. To do this, just start the Google Street View app on Android or iOS, and then look around on the map for photos to view. Uploading a photosphere is also a really quick and easy process that won't take more than a couple of moments of your time.
