Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IaYJZ2Usdk So now this is a thing. Essentially it works by having the viewer move around their android smartphone as you would move your head around and you get a 360 degree view of the whole scene. This appears to be done with google street view like cameras with everything turned into some sort of 3d animation that you can look around from a stationary position. For those who are on their computers, WASD (Not the arrow keys) can move your view around so you can sort of get the experience. This is meant to be a VR demo so this is a small taste of what watching videos in VR is like. This seems pretty cool Source: https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/576460700287025153 Edit: I found a verge article on this It may be a tad later than originally anticipated, but YouTube has just added support for 360-degree videos, making the massive video sharing site more useful to owners of VR headsets. Google said it would have the feature ready in "the coming weeks" back in January, and now it's here on a small selection of videos. More are expected as a new crop of 360-degree cameras make their way on sale this year. ANDROID FIRST, IOS LATER The appeal of 360-degree videos is that you can look around the scene while they're playing, making action sports videos in particular that much more exciting and interactive. Viewing it on something like Oculus or Google Cardboard lets you simply move your head, as if you were there. You can also view them from YouTube's Android app (which tracks how you're holding the device to change what's on screen), and on YouTube.com. YouTube says it's working to get it on Apple' iOS devices, and on other platforms later. Right now, the number of these types of clips is small, but could increase now that 360-degree camera systems are coming onto the market. That includes Kickstarter phenom Giroptic and its 360cam, which records the action from three different directions, Bublcam (which records from four, 190-degree lenses), and Ricoh's Theta. Google also says it's working to get video shot on IC Real Tech’s Allie and Kodak’s SP360 to work smoothly. Videos shot on all these cameras need to go through a special upload process, though YouTube says it's working on its uploader so that 360-degree video will be identified automatically. source: http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/13/8203173/youtube-now-supports-360-degree-videos Edited March 13, 2015 by CtW NEW BUILD LOG!!!: Project Comilinx http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/313532-in-progress-project-comilinx-side-panel-modpainting-update-1932015/ Other build: Project Impracticality http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/131898-wip-project-impracticality-new-name-partsdesign-update/ Wallpaper dump: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/227721-cool-backgrounds-i-found-on-imgur-now-with-phone-backgrounds/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 14, 2015 We also need some kind of oculus rift mode on the PC for this. Imagine watching a Star Trek movie like that! Can't imagine watching anything since I haven't had my hands and eyes on any VR yet. However this could replace the need for massive cinemas. Instead there will be VR headsets in a lot smaller room.

Posted March 14, 2015 Author Can't imagine watching anything since I haven't had my hands and eyes on any VR yet. However this could replace the need for massive cinemas. Instead there will be VR headsets in a lot smaller room. With high enough resolution displays on the VR units (probably 4k or something idk) and good enough surround sound, that would be an amazing experience!
