Did you hear? Google and Facebook are going all in with VR, better known as 'virtual reality'. From Oculus Rift to Google Cardboard and even videos optimized to play on any Android smartphone, the future is finally here in Missoula.

Shot with the Kodak Pixpro SP360, and uploaded to YouTube with the help of a little geek coding, it's not perfectly immersive just yet but it most certainly shows the potential of what the years ahead hold for 360 spherical videos. We just wanted to be the first to say, "Hey, we were the first to do it in the state of Montana!"

STOP! If you are viewing this article on an Android tablet or smartphone, you are MUCH better off seeing the VIDEOS HERE instead and, when prompted, open the YouTube app. Trust us, it's a way cooler experience on your mobile device.

On the desktop (using your Chrome browser), just click and drag as the video plays to get a virtual tour. The YouTube app will only load these videos in 360-degree mode if you're running Jelly Bean, Kitkat, or Lollipop. Again, it's very awesome on your Android phone, because often times the click-and-drag in Chrome can be a bit jerky.
