Free VR-Like Ride at the Comcast Technology Center

If you haven't guessed, Comcast owns Universal including Universal Studios, so they know how to make rides. The short film is Executive Produced by Steven Spielberg and it explores "geniuses" through history and important documents that shape who we are. The whole movie is about 15 minutes long. If you want to learn more about the film and the background, Billy Penn has a good write up.
