Today is National Video Game Day, a perfect day to share how video game tech is transforming performing arts.

Now you can see it in action for yourself! For best results, watch on a smartphone like an iPhone or Android. To really get the most out of this and other VR videos like it, buy the Google Cardboard VR headset for your smartphone (less than $10).

If you enjoyed that experience, LA Phil also created a VR video of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3.
