Jack & Third Man Records are excited to announce the release of the “JACK WHITE: THIRD-D” Google Cardboard virtual reality video app. Watch in immersive 360 degree, stereoscopic 3D and listen to music mixed in Dolby Atmos to feel like you were “there” for Jack's performance of “Freedom At 21” and “Ball and Biscuit” at The Bleacher Theater at Fenway Park and “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground” at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Download the app now via the Google Play Store.
Users will need a recent 5” or 6” Android phone and a Google Cardboard virtual reality viewer which turns the phone into a VR headset. For those without Cardboard headsets, the app is also capable of showing 2D video on its own or you can make your own Cardboard headset out of everyday items by following the instructions here.
To celebrate the release of the new app and help usher in the dawn of a new era in video technology, Third Man Records will be giving away Google Cardboard headsets to the first 75 Android phone users that purchase the Lazaretto ULTRA LP in the Nashville store on Wednesday, December 10th. Additionally, Third Man will be showcasing the new app with three demo Cardboard headsets and Samsung S5 phones in the store starting Wednesday too.
Omg, @misterpickles, thank you!! I downloaded the app and was all depressed I couldn’t make a Google Cardboard right now… didn’t even think about my Tool cd! You’re my new fav person :)
Tried this out last night, used the lenticular glasses from a Tool CD and it worked just fine. It was really cool and loved that you can look around 360 degrees and control your experience. Awesome!
Maybe it’s just me, but every time I get something like this from 3M I get the sense I’m part of the coolest, most exclusive music club in the world.
Very Cool hope to see this in a much bigger fashion someday, like live broadcast of a blue room show!! always making it fun to be involved with thirdman.
Can’t wait to try the iiiD app. . . there are YT vids that walk you thru the process of assembling the viewer and explaining how it works. Pretty darn cool.
Need for iPhone! :)
I love the staff in this clip cracks me up! Gotta get the glasses but works w my LG Vista! Yay! I will opt to buy because as a crafter these look complicated. I can just imagine the mess I would have. Guess I should have gotten the sticker sheet to personalize them.
So fun ! Hope you’ll make an iphone 6+ version…
You guys should make Samsung Galaxy phone cases too. I have an S4 and I’ve really been wanting a TMR case
Gaaaah!! This looks so cool! iPhone version please!
