    Not sure how to embed Facebook videos and people are arguing whether this is cruel or not but for me, this is enough Internet for one day...

    I'm going to say yeah, strapping a VR headset to a chimpanzee is pretty cruel.

    Extremely far down on my list of cruelty towards an animal but I would worry about whether it could have been motion sick or something.

    It was cool seeing it try and reach out at stuff though.

    I don't feel like it's cruel, but am also fascinated by the result. I wonder if that chimp is used to screens so it sort of knows that it's eyes can get tricked sometimes, but to not freak out in VR was personally unexpected.
