YouTube App Now Supports Virtual Reality Videos

Category: Technology

Virtual reality (VR) makes the experience of being there even more awesome and immersive, so today we’re bringing two new VR features to YouTube’s Android app. All you need is your current phone, and a Google Cardboard viewer. First, YouTube now supports VR video—a brand new kind of video that makes you feel like you’re actually there. Using the same tricks that we humans use to see the world, VR video gives you a sense of depth as you look around in every direction. Near things look near, far things look far. So if you were excited about 360° videos, this is pretty freakin’ cool. 360° videos allows the audience to be fully immersed in the video rather than watching a 2D video. Viewers can watch the video from any angle they wish. You can share incredible videos of the entire moment that you’re filming. Compatible cameras revealed at CES this year such as the Ricoh Theta, Kodak SP360, Bublcam, Giroptic 360cam would enable consumers to capture and playback 360 videos on the Youtube 360° video platform. - See more at: http://www.khanstory.com/2015/11/youtube-app-now-supports-virtual.html#sthash.ciznpMzd.dpuf
