Review: When you first use Vrse you start to realise that you could be looking at the future of all news reporting. Whether we want to feel immersed in the mists of a terrorist attack or disease outbreak is something we will all have to discover for ourselves. This app is essentially a catalogue of news, music and entertainment 360 videos. Because you are downloading them, it means they look better and sound better.

With some nice features like dynamically changing directional binaural sound and simple to use menu system, it all flows amazingly well. It could be said that the videos are slightly too large for downloading onto people’s phones, add to that we couldn’t get any of them to work. But still, the idea is good and that’s what counts. A good 360 content aggregator that you can easily lose hours in.
