Relevante Passage:

Now the media company is launching its second experiment in this vein, this time taking viewers to the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Vail, Colorado. […] Once you put the glasses on, you can view time-lapse, 360-degree footage of the mountain where the championships will take place, and you can watch similarly panoramic footage of skiers as they train, talk, and hang out. Ahlberg said this represents a big step forward from Harvest of Change. Most obviously, it involves motion, and pretty fast motion at that — the coolest part of the experience is virtually skiing down the hill, looking left, right, up, and down as you go.
