President Barack Obama will give his farewell address at 9 p.m. EST Tuesday. While the major networks will pick up the speech, you can get the experience of being there in person by watching in virtual reality.

A livestream of the address hosted by VRScout will allow viewers to watch Obama live in 360 degrees. The virtual reality broadcast will be available through VRScout’s Facebook, YouTube, and Periscope accounts or on its website.

Users will be able to strap on a virtual reality headset like the Samsung Gear VR or Google Cardboard and view every angle of the event hosted in the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago. Alternatively, users will be able to watch on any device and explore different views by using their finger or mouse.

The 360-degree experience is made possible thanks to Nokia Ozo cameras that will be set up throughout the venue. VRScout is also partnering with digital cinema brand Radiant Images and VR livestreaming company Vantage.tv for the event.

The virtual reality broadcast will be the first of its kind for a Presidential address. It’s not the first VR political experience—nor the first VR appearance of President Obama, in fact.

The Democratic party broadcast one of its early primary debates —so early that Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee were all still on stage—in virtual reality as part of a partnership with CNN.

President Obama also took part in a virtual reality documentary in which he narrates and tours a trip to Yosemite National Park as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of America’s National Parks Service.

For those looking to watch Obama’s farewell address from Chicago the more traditional way, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News will all carry the event live. Other networks may also pick up coverage.

If you’re without a TV or cable access, the White House will make available a livestream of the outgoing President’s speech its website and on its Facebook page.
