SPHERES: Chorus of the Cosmos VR

Spheres, the virtual-reality experience that made waves earlier this year when it landed VR's first seven-figure distribution deal, is breaking out of the film-festival circuit and is now available for public consumption: The three-chapter series debuted for $9.99 on Facebook's Oculus Rift VR headset Tuesday. 

So far, scarcity of quality VR content has been a persistent weakness crimping virtual reality's growth. VR has been one of the buzziest tech areas in the last five years, as giants such as Sony, HTC, Samsung, Google and Oculus have poured resources into the head-mounted devices that transport users into a digital world. But VR has yet to strike gold with a gotta-see-it experience that popularizes the format with the mainstream. 

If Spheres is going to be that killer app, it's a wildly mind-bending savior. 

The experience takes viewers on atmospheric tours around the cosmos. One chapter, titled "Spheres: Songs of Spacetime," has actress Jessica Chastain narrating (actually, whispering) your trip inside a black hole. If you don't regularly spend your time pondering the mysteries of the universe, prepare to come out of your headset wondering what the heck you just saw.
