The BBC’s new virtual reality experience allows your kids to explore our planet

The big blue ocean and the great unknown.

Thanks to David Attenborough's infamous documentaries about the earth we live on, we now have more information than we ever had before. We often find ourselves lost in Blue Planet or Planet Earth, looking at the various plants and species that roam the globe we live on. And now, thanks to the BBC, your kids can have some fun with it too. Inspired by Sir Attenborough's work, the BBC Earth: Life in VR has been created which allows you to explore the ocean and its creatures. The experience follows a mother sea otter making her away around the great big ocean and your kids will be able to meet and interact with various creatures that would usually be unheard of. Bradley Crooks, head of entertainment at the BBC said: "VR allows us to provide our audiences a new level of immersion unparalleled by other mediums and tell stories of the natural world in a new and exhilarating way." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9OkENZwzL4 While the game is available now from Google Play as a free downloadable app, you will need a Daydream ready smartphone and Daydream View headset to operate the experience.
