After finishing Mr. Robot and Transparent, I needed to find my next binge-watching endeavor. Instead of starting a new random TV show, I’ve decided to use my free hours to learn more about VR from a UX perspective (after all, the future of our profession is on it).

That’s when I came up with UX Binge-Watch, Season 1: Virtual Reality™.

Hope you enjoy the 9 episodes.
