Look out over Balos Lagoon on the northwest tip of Crete, Greece, and its turquoise Mediterranean water. The lagoon forms between two capes, and the sea inside it is very shallow. The lagoon and the land around it are protected under the European Natura 2000 network for their rare plants and wildlife.

What to expect

The camera stays in one place for the full 3 min, so nothing pans or lurches and you set the pace by turning your head. If fast motion in a headset does not agree with you, this is one of the gentler ways in.

It is filmed in stereoscopic VR180, which means depth is real: near things sit close, far things stay far, and the coastline reads at proper scale instead of flattening onto a screen. Look up, look to the edges of the frame, and take your time. There is nothing to steer and nothing to learn.

We tag this one relaxing, and it sits in Greece alongside the rest of what we have filmed there. It is included with a subscription.
