Not everyone is Kali Hansaconvinced that virtual reality is the future, but at least one beloved institution, The Simpsons, has hopped onto the VR train.
SEE ALSO: 'Mr. Robot' to debut VR short film on iOS, Oculus, HTC ViveIn celebration of the series' 600th episode, the show decided to offer its opening couch scene in VR using Google Cardboard, and the result is incredible.
Titled "Planet of the Couches," the short experience is inspired by the classic science fiction film Planet of the Apes. But this time, couches, not apes, are in control. If you know anything about the film, you can guess what the Simpsons go through in terms of plot, but the real treat here comes via the VR features.

So when you discover tiny details, like Comic Book Guy rating the VR experience in real time, or the appearance of a couple of familiar aliens in the sky, it's like the characters are waiting for you to look their way.

Whether or not this kind of thing is the future of VR entertainment remains to be seen, but if this great outing by The Simpsonsis any indication, we're likely to see more of these VR shorts invading the TV landscape soon.
