Destinations in Welcome to Light Fields include NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery, delivering to viewers an astronaut's view inside the flight deck, which has never been open to the public; the pristine teak and mahogany interiors of the Gamble House, an architectural treasure in Pasadena, CA; and the glorious St. Stephen's Church in Granada Hills, CA, home to a stunning wall of more than 14,000 pieces of glimmering stained glass.

"I love that light fields in VR can teleport you to exotic places in the real world, and truly make you believe you are there," says Ryan Overbeck, software engineer at Google who co-led the project. "To me, this is magic."
