Watch - Virtual Reality makes football hilarious and awful

It's looking like virtual reality will revolutionise the way we play all kinds of video games with immersive graphics and sound and a real sense of presence but - at least right now - virtual reality and actual reality shouldn't mix when it comes to football. This indoor football match looks pretty normal, except the players are all wearing virtual reality headset which is beaming them a video feed of the pitch from a bird's eye view.
