Description: This is our love letter to the emerging art form of Cinematic VR. What it is: beautiful immersive stories — award-winning VR documentaries, animation, music videos, horror, + more. Photo-real people & places: everything is captured with cameras or rendered CGI. We hand-pick only the best from independent creators, studios, and film festivals from around the world every month.

Review: Within is a library of 360° video news stories, documentaries and experiences. These powerful videos really put you into the scene they are trying to capture and can often really carry the emotions they were made with. From the troubles in Syria to the joys of deep-sea diving. There is something here for everyone.

This is one of those apps that is worth coming back to once in a while to see the new things they have added. With more and more experiences being added it is only a matter of time before they start to charge for content, so getting it all for free now is something you should definitely be downloading. Is this the future of video storytelling? We believe it just might be and what an amazing future it is.
