Climbing Your Way To The Top Of Mount Everest With VR

In this episode of Tales from the PROS, I chat with Jonathan Griffith, who is an international Award Winning Alpine Climbing Photographer, and has climbed the world over including Mt. Everest, and established himself as one of the world’s leading mountain sports photographers. A keen interest in modern technology, this creative adventurer just released the first-ever high-resolution Virtual Reality Mt. Everest film following a Nepalese climber attempting a no-bottled oxygen ascent of the mountain- a story never shot before known as Everest Virtual Reality.
