'Mr. Robot' to debut VR short film on iOS, Oculus, HTC Vive

The USA Network cult hit Mr. Robot has already blazed new trails by taking underground hacker culture mainstream, and now the producers are pushing the tech envelope further by diving into the world of virtual reality. SEE ALSO: Mr. Robot Season 2 premieres on Twitter and Facebook On July 21 at 1:45 p.m. ET, the show will debut an original VR short film that will be available to anyone in the U.S. using the Within app (the company formerly known as Vrse). However, in keeping with the "FSociety" hacker aesthetic from the show, the VR short will only be available during its initial showing, after which the content will be removed from the app. To experience the VR short, users can use iOS, Android, the Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive and look for the Mr. Robot VR Experience on the Within app. It should also be noted that this might be the first live national VR event to be offered on all the most popular VR platforms simultaneously.
