The future is here for your video purposes. Youtube presents a new feature in 360-degrees.
With no official mention in either their blog or other official information outlet, the video streaming giant quietly rolled out the VR support for their 2D 360-degree videos earlier this month.
Google Cardboard-compatible smartphones can now view 360-degree video in side-by-side configuration, it's the recent update to the Android YouTube app.
The first addition of the 360 video support for mobile devices and Chrome was in March 2015, as well as support for 60 FPS video—two things that point towards a strong interest in VR.
Unfortunately there’s still no word yet on when iOS smartphones will have a chance to get a hold of the now Google Cardboard-compatible app. NetizensPortal will update the further information.
If you want to access the VR function on 360 videos, first search for the videos by typing #360Video into the mobile app’s search field. Compatible videos should show the symbol below.
You have the option to switch to VR mode. Just touch the Google Cardboard icon on the lower right-hand side and insert your Android smartphone into Cardboard or any number of variants available online. Now look around and check it out!
Here are some 360 videos:
