Jack White has unveiled a cardboard virtual reality app for Android phones promising a 360 degree chance to experience his live shows. Watch a preview below.
A man who never met an innovative recording device he didn't like, Jack White has announced the release of the “JACK WHITE: THIRD-D” Google Cardboard virtual reality video app.
Available on Android phones, it promises "immersive 360 degree, stereoscopic 3D" and sound mixed in Dolby's Atmos surround sound. The two performances so far are White's performance of 'Freedom At 21' and 'Ball and Biscuit' at The Bleacher Theater at Fenway Park and “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground” at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

To use the service users need a 5" or 6" Android phone and a Google Cardboard virtual reality viewer (instructions on creating your own are available here - apparently an extra large pizza box makes a perfect base.) Naturally White's Third Man Records in Nashville will also be hosting a launch party to showcase the capabilites.
