Long before finding pandas in snowmen and everything else, there was an attention game called Where's Waldo? The point of the game was to find a funny guy in a picture with glasses, a striped hat and a sweater named Waldo. The whole difficulty lay in the enormous detail and the presence of a number of similar objects in the picture. Many then turned gray from stress and strained their eyes pretty hard, trying to find the elusive Waldo. Today we would like to present to your attention another series of puzzles with Waldo, only now in virtual reality.
A video called “Where's Waldo 360” was created by the guys from the YouTube channel “CorridorDigital”. The main difference between this puzzle and others is that you have to look for Waldo in virtual reality by watching a video shot in 360-degree shooting format You can search for Waldo either on a regular screen, rotating the video image 360 degrees, or using virtual reality glasses (Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR, etc.)
Each video contains additional tasks, for which you just need to look down. So where is Waldo?
If this is your first time watching a 360-degree video, then you just need to hover your mouse over the video window, hold down the left mouse button, and rotate the picture in any direction
If you are reading this article from a mobile phone, then to get the 3D effect you will need to click on the name of the video at the top of the video window and watch it on YouTube. In this viewing mode, you don’t have to rotate the image with your hands; just rotating your smartphone will be enough

Excerpt describing Where's Wally?
The crowd, crowded, began to stir, and their hats quickly came off. Princess Marya, with her eyes downcast and her feet tangling in her dress, came close to them. So many different old and young eyes were fixed on her and there were so many different faces that Princess Marya did not see a single face and, feeling the need to suddenly talk to everyone, did not know what to do. But again the consciousness that she was the representative of her father and brother gave her strength, and she boldly began her speech.“I’m very glad that you came,” Princess Marya began, without raising her eyes and feeling how quickly and strongly her heart was beating. “Dronushka told me that you were ruined by the war.” This is our common grief, and I will not spare anything to help you. I’m going myself, because it’s already dangerous here and the enemy is close... because... I give you everything, my friends, and I ask you to take everything, all our bread, so that you don’t have any need. And if they told you that I am giving you bread so that you can stay here, then this is not true. On the contrary, I ask you to leave with all your property to our Moscow region, and there I take it upon myself and promise you that you will not be in need. They will give you houses and bread. - The princess stopped. Only sighs were heard in the crowd.
“I’m not doing this on my own,” the princess continued, “I’m doing this in the name of my late father, who was a good master to you, and for my brother and his son.”
She stopped again. No one interrupted her silence.
- Our grief is common, and we will divide everything in half. “Everything that is mine is yours,” she said, looking around at the faces standing in front of her.
