The beauty of virtual reality is that it allows you to become anyone or anything you can dream of, and in this case the technology is letting you become the amazing Spider-Man.

In the run-up to the release of the film Spider-Man: Homecoming in July, Sony has released a VR version of Spider-Man that lets you don the superhero's costume, swing through the New York City using web shooters, and even battle Spider-Man's movie rival, The Vulture.

The experience is currently available to moviegoers at select Cinemark theater locations around the U.S. at Intel-branded kiosks and will be available for home use on the PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive starting June 30. In the meantime, if you're not near one of the theaters with the VR pop-ups, you can get a sample of what it'll be like in the preview video (above) of the VR experience.
