It wasn’t your typical concert
experience. I watched Billie Eilish from a perspective that felt like I wasn’t
in the audience or behind the scenes, but somewhere in between: hovering near
the stage alongside the singer as she grasped a fan’s hand in the front row. This
is what it’s like to watch a clip from Eilish’s 3D tour special shot in Arizona
and Manchester, England, with Meta’s new VR Glasses.

to retire, but such decisions are often more complex than you’d imagine –
fraught with ego and identity dilemmas for athletes who have been consumed by
their sport for so long.
