  • Escape to faraway lands: Feeling stuck in your house but don’t want to venture out into the heat? Escape to faraway lands—virtually— with the help of two Oculus Go apps. The apps were designed as a way to relax and see the world without needing to leave your home. Simply put on a virtual reality headset, launch your favorite of the Oculus Go apps, and escape to another part of the world!
  • Set-up your phone’s medical ID: If you do decide to venture out into the heat, be sure to have your Medical ID set-up on your phone in the case of an emergency.
