For more than 30 years, Discovery has told stories like no one else — transporting you to places you didn’t know existed and sparking curiosity at every turn. Now we enter a new chapter. Virtual Reality can take you to new worlds like never before, immersing you in time, space and story. Experience exhilarating new space — from shark-infested shipwrecks to freeboarding the windiest street in the world — with much more to come. Discovery VR allows students to experience virtual reality without the need for a cardboard or expensive viewer. Attach a mobile device to a selfie stick and watch a group of students explore new places!
