Inside Impact: East Aftrica

Presented by the Clinton Foundation

A Journey with President Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative"Inside Impact: East Africa" is an eight-minute virtual reality film that allows people around the world to join President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton on their trip to East Africa in spring 2015 - and see first-hand how Commitments to Action made by CGI members are changing lives and empowering communities. The film also provides viewers multiple perspectives of modern Africa - from modern downtown Nairobi to Kibera, the largest slum in Africa, a short distance away.

Kismet

Kismet, A New Original VR Experience | Developed by Psyop

Powered by a deck of 22 hand-painted Tarot cards and an accurate real-time map of the solar system, Kismet is meant to be experienced daily, with unique outcomes every calendar day that are directly tied to not only the cards that you choose, but your individual birth date and the actual alignment of celestial bodies at the time of your reading. Seated across a table from an enchanted automaton with the power to look into the future, you'll be transported to a place where magic is real. Named after the mysterious character at its core, Kismet is inspired by the mystic arts of tarot and astrology, brought to life in a beautifully detailed, handmade, gothic style.
