Part of the ultimate music festival experience is being able to use all of your senses to take in music and the other sources of entertainment that are going on at the outdoor event. But with virtual reality technology on the rise, the modern festival-goer is looking for an experience that's more hyperconnected and immersive.
This year at Field Trip 2015, festival-goers will be able to plug into an Oculus Rift experience between music sets. The experience will virtually fly people high over the festival grounds, giving them a better sense of what there is to do and see on the grounds. The experience is set to the music of Kevin Drew and Andy Kim, ensuring that those wearing a pair of Oculus Rift goggles or those waiting in line don't miss a beat of the action.
