Directed by Academy award winning Patrick Osborne and produced by Google Spotlight Stories, the almost 6-minute movie showcases a cross-country car trip a father and daughter take, and all the conversations, sights and events they witness on the journey. The car’s turns, movements, and other visual events can be experienced like reality through VR technology. “try standing up to pop your head out the sunroof when she catches fireflies. It’s like magic.”, Google had tweeted<\/span> <\/a>in July when the movie had just come out.<\/span><\/p>\n
