If you are among the 18.2 million people that completely binge-watched Season 3 of Stranger Things over the holiday weekend or part of the 40.7 million currently enjoying it -- a new Netflix record -- I am willing to bet that only a minuscule percentage of you viewed it the way that I did. Over two days, I spent nine hours watching the '80s nostalgia-filled, sci-fi thriller in virtual reality through the Oculus Quest, the recently released wire-free, self-contained (meaning no need to dock a mobile phone into the device), sensor-included, free-roaming, affordable ($399), head-mounted display.
