Recall last year\u2019s announcement of Everest VR, an immersive experience on what it might be like to climb Mt. Everest? This is not that. What Sports Illustrated has done is created a virtual reality film of the successful 2016 Everest climb by three adventurers\u2013Brent Bishop, Lisa Thompson, and Jeff Glasbrenner. Even more exhilarating than \u201cEverest VR,\u201d Capturing Everest<\/em> brings VR users alongside a seemingly impossible feat, particularly more so given the personal challenges of amputee Glasbrenner and cancer survivor Thompson.  SI\u2019s Capturing Everest<\/em> is the real deal with weather, emotions, and navigational challenges filmed in 360 degrees from \u201ca once-in-a-lifetime look from the perspective of a climber.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
