Bill Clinton appears in virtual-reality movie on Africa
In a seven-minute movie, viewers with special goggles will be able to follow Clinton's travels.
Heads of states, corporate executives and civil-society leaders in attendance will be able to watch using special goggles — Samsung's Gear VR headset — that will be set up in the main lounge.
"The ability of technology like this to bring people together from around the world has the potential to encourage everyone, no matter where they are, to be more engaged in global issues and how to solve them," Clinton said in a statement to The Associated Press.
A less-immersive version of the movie will be available through Facebook's new 360 feature, which uses mouse and other controls to replicate some of the headset experience.
