As a means of exploring Raspberry Pi’s Cambridge store from New York, fan and virtual reality (VR) developer Rob Chinery developed an experience from reference videos and photos so that anyone can explore the space. Impressed with the experience, Raspberry Pi themselves featured Chinery’s experience on their blog.

The Raspberry Pi Store VR Experience consists of a photo-realistic walk-through of the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s new flagship retail store. Built specifically for mobile VR platforms, the experience is available for free on Oculus Go and Gear VR as well as Android and iOS (via Testflight) with a cardboard viewer.
