Description: Through the Ages: President Obama Celebrates America’s National Parks transports you on a journey to Yosemite with President Obama as he honors the legacy of our country’s national parks in the context of the National Parks Service Centennial.

This first-ever virtual reality experience featuring a sitting President provides an up close and personal look at President Obama’s trip to Yosemite with his family over Father’s Day weekend. Follow along as he traverses the park, interacting with students during an event tied to his “Every Kid in the Park” initiative, and speaking with Don Neubacher, the Yosemite Superintendent.




Review: This 360° video experience features none other than POTUS himself President Barack Obama narrating over some amazing 360° video. While political and mostly aimed at the American audience the message behind it is universal, the message of conservation, preservation and climate change.

While the parks POTUS talks about are in America there are some issues that affect us all and that makes it worth a download, not least the stunning views of America’s national parks.

Putting the VR experience in a nutshell, it is an app designed to get kids out into the national parks of America. While for the rest of us who don’t live in America it is a chance to see some of the stunning beauty of national parks. With some of the clearest 360° video I have seen, this is something well worth a watch, but for 99% of us, it will only be once.
