Yesterday I had a package from the NYTimes and it was this piece of cardboard and it turned out to be AMAZING! Thank you so much #NYTimes! (I was apparently one of 300000 ‘loyal subscribers’ – hey! that’s me! plopped my money down the day they went paywall and haven’t left them since!)
Yes, there were some people at work who had already explored this little cardboard wonder but it was seriously a moment for me, my pal Matt and who could have predicted – my mother!
It … looks interesting. What’s it for? (some of the coolest things come in some of the simplest packages… is it for use with their website? For something with their papers?)
The device itself works with a smart phone to let you see virtual reality version of videos and other stuff created for it. Rather than being 3-D, you can look in all directions, even behind you to see more.
