The BBC is launching a two-part virtual reality news documentary series exploring the water politics of the river Nile. Damming the Nile has been produced by BBC VR Hub and BBC News and is available through the Oculus Gear VR store. “Virtual reality means films like Damming the Nile VR can actually take our audiences there so they can see it for themselves. Damming the Nile VR also features music from The Nile Project, a collective of musicians from countries along the river, including songs from their new album. The new app on the Oculus Gear VR store also signals the BBC’s commitment to the format.
