360 degree panorama!

Hey guys!

What if you could see what’s around you without having to move your neck? And what if we tell you that is possible! Yes you heard that right.

All you have to do is fit a camera that supports a 360 degree view. It is that simple.

360 degree videos are all the rage right now. It is a different form of storytelling. It is amazing to watch a video from different angles. The view is pretty epic and fun to watch. You need a special camera to capture the footage, as normal cameras cannot capture a wide field of view. The camera is not that cheap either. And creating and sharing the content is not easy. A 360 camera can also be created by arranging many cameras (like gopros) together in a manner that it can capture the panoramic view.

These videos are most fun to watch with a VR(virtual reality) headset. If you are into gaming, you are in for a treat. It won’t be very long when you’ll be able to take playing a game to the next level, like the Sony PlayStation VR. It is said that VR will change the future of the gaming world. 360 videos are being hyped today, to adopt the fast growing VR technology.

Since March, 2015 YouTube introduced 360 degree videos. Google wants VR to be accessible to everyone. So, watch the videos down below to understand this amazing technology.The quality is a little low right now, unless you watch them in really high resolutions. If you are watching them from your laptop or pc, you can tap and drag to get the entire view. Try watching them from your phone or tab, it is cooler that way, you just have to move your phone while watching.
