Prince, Please Create Something in VR (Virtual Reality)

I would absolutely love to see Prince do something in virtual realty. Who here is familiar with this fairly new technology? U2, Bjork (amoung other's) have already taken advantage of this new medium. U2 used a gentleman by the name of Chris Milk to direct their recent video. Great stuff! Chris Milk has a plethora of VR material already completed for our veiwing pleasure. Prince coupled with this dude, oh my... you people will not be dissapointed, this I can assure you. Granted you don't get motion sickness.

VR can be veiwed with goggles. Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard are the two company's with goggles ready for the masses and they are available now. Samsung uses their most recent smartphones and they snap into the goggles, Gear VR. Google Cardboard is free and works with any smartphone. You can order Google Cardboard goggles online which cost about five dollars and up.

Head over to YouTube and search "360". It will lead you to VR video's that can be veiwed on your smartphone or computer.

Prince, hear me, brother..... PLEASE DO VIRTUAL REALITY!

I was lucky enough to try out the VR thing for the PlayStation 4 last week. Granted, it was a video game I was playing but I can definitely imagine how it would be if someone (maybe Prince? Hopefully..) we're to release an entire concert in VR form. I don't know how it would be done but if it was done right, it would make you feel like you were there in a way live albums or concert DVDs never could.

We know how it is with Prince and videos... it would be nice but he'd never go for the costs or the corporate backing necessary.

What does this all have to do with some middle-aged guy that makes funk-rock with 80s synth sounds?
