Thanks To Virtual Reality, Man Sees Birth Of His Child 4,000 Km Away, In Real-Time

Here's a great example of technology bringing families together when they are miles apart. An Australian couple were separated by 4,000 km -- Mom is in Perth while Dad is working in a remote part of Queensland -- just as mom is about to deliver the couple's third child. Enter Samsung Gear VR. The virtual reality technology allowed dad to don a pair or glasses and headphones and see everything in the delivery room, most importantly his son's birth in real-time. One week later, the family is reunited in an airport, where dad holds his son for the first time. The "LifeLIVE" video, created by Leo Burnett Sydney, is 6:18 and worth watching. See it here.
