The NFB is making groundbreaking, immersive virtual reality experiences more accessible, starting with a VR reinvention of the multi-award-winning interactive doc, Bear 71, now available free on Chrome as Bear 71 VR. Originally launched in 2012, Bear 71 is an acclaimed interactive multi-user online experience told from the point of view of an omniscient female grizzly bear, which explores how we coexist with wildlife in the age of networks, surveillance, and digital information en mass.
