Virtual reality (VR) has been at the forefront of a lot of movement in the tech world these days.

In the U.S. the Cardboard headset and Tech C1-Glass VR Viewer can be bought for US$15 and the View-Master goes for $30 (which is available at Best Buy here).

It’s going to be written by Dallas Buyers Club screenwriter Melisa Wallack and will be directed by Liman and Michael Witlak and Jerome Sable.
