GE Neuro is a hands-off five minute 360-degree tour that takes us on a journey inside the mind of a musician, into his imagination and then beyond towards individual synapses in his brain. Developed as a promotional video for General Electric and their MRI technology, we were surprised that the experience barely showcases what MRI machines are capable of. Instead, it presents generically styled fantastical imaginings with little to no substance.

Such spectacles may have impressed people in the nascent period of modern virtual reality, but unfortunately there's little to enjoy here. The graphics are moderately fine for a full 360 degree presentation, though flickering artifacts are particularly noticeable with head movements at times. The combination of short running time, disappointing visuals, zero interactivity and very unremarkable content make this one to miss unfortunately.

The person is wearing a dark jacket with light blue circuit-like patterns, and their face is obscured by a white block for privacy. The background includes wooden floors, shelves, and a cello leaning against the wall, blending modern technology with a casual home environment.
