The moral of the story you’re about to hear is that you don’t always have to pick between surreal and boring. Some things, like the VIRTUAL REALITY version of the first Democratic presidential debate of the 2016 cycle, can be both. As I learned on Tuesday night watching the debate in CNN’s chosen gimmick format, rather than focus your attention, VR’s weird angles encourage your eyes to wander into the audience or across the floor, so that you stop listening to debaters and start getting lost in the room’s hazy colors. Imagine being stuck in a kaleidoscope while you try to study for the SAT. That’s a little bit like viewing the first Democratic presidential debate in VR.
