On Thursday, Discovery Communications, the parent company of the Discovery Channel, launched Discovery VR, an all-virtual-reality network of videos.

On Discovery VR's website you'll find 360° videos that can be viewed through a browser, on iOS or Android, or through Google Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR. Discovery VR says that support for the Oculus Rift is coming soon.

Currently the platform has three Mythbusters shark dive videos and clips from the network's shows Gold Rush and Survivorman. There are also four shows that are less brand-based. In one, skateboarders tackle San Francisco's windy Lombard Street, and in another, a pro surfer gives a five-minute surf lesson. Or, you can simply take a walk through a Pacific Coast beach or through California's iconic Muir Woods.
