Hulu's 'The Path' gives viewers VR, 360 'meditation experience'
LOS ANGELES -- Now there's another way to get in touch with The Path.
Hulu's new drama, which launched in March, follows a cult-like movement — based in upstate New York — called Meyerism.
The show revolves around Eddie (Aaron Paul) and Sarah (Michelle Monaghan), who face obstacles in their marriage as Eddie begins to experience doubts about their faith. Hugh Dancy also stars as Cal, the cult's stand-in leader while Meyerist founder Dr. Steven Meyers is away

Now, Hulu wants viewers to really immerse themselves in Meyerism in the most interactive way possible: a 360-degree video.
Mashable got an exclusive look at the video (above), which will be available on Facebook, YouTube and the Hulu VR app for the Samsung Gear VR, beginning on Wednesday.
Narrated by Clark Middleton (who plays the Meyerist Movement’s therapist), the roughly 1:45-second video is a daily way to "unburden yourself."
