The People's House - Inside the White House with Barack and Michelle Obama

[BumRushDaShow]

I stumbled on this last week when I got a new phone and VR headset. This video, narrated by now-former President Barack Obama and now-former First Lady Michelle Obama, takes you on a tour of the White House with a camera that can film in 360°, highlighting the history of the rooms and some of their favorite spots inside. The video itself won a 2017 Creative Arts Emmy for "Outstanding Original Interactive Program" because it allows the viewer to manipulate the image (both this Youtube version using either a mouse or the gray cursor image embedded in the video or a Virtual Reality headset when using the Occulus app on a compatible phone) so that you can get a view completely around each room during the narration.

With all the craziness of last week, let alone the past year and a half, this was such a wonderful interlude and respite from the insanity, that reminds us of what is best about America and not what it has devolved into with the current administration.

Enjoy!

1. Wonderful to watch .....

so uplifting to hear President Obama and Michelle speaking with intelligence and warmth. On a interesting note my cat sat next to me and listened to the whole thing. I think she found both their voices soothing.
