RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) This First Friday, some Raleigh residents got to experience art in a whole new way. <\/p>\n
Google Fiber showcased the Google Arts and Culture Virtual Reality map. People were invited to tour the virtual art galleries through Googles Daydream View, a virtual reality device that connects to your smart phone. People who tried it were amazed at the detail, saying you could literally see every brush stroke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Well you never get a chance to get that close because you get rushed off, said John Cloud. If I tried to get that close to a Van Gogh in any other gallery youd find that thered be somebody coming up to you saying you need to back up please. <\/p>\n
Its great to see the detail, said Tawney Schwarz. You can look down and see the flooring look all the way up and see the ceiling. You get a full experience. I just tried the Smithsonian tour and it actually has someone guiding you through it. <\/p>\n
People are invited to try out the Daydream View at the Raleigh Fiber Space through June 17. <\/p>\n
