So, you’ve bought your virtual reality headset or glasses. You’re ready to immerse yourself in the world of VR. But you have no videos to experience these wonders. Luckily, virtual reality videos are easier to find than ever before thanks to advances in the internet.
Different platforms offer all kinds of VR videos. It’s just about knowing which ones will have the videos to suit you best.
One platform is the Oculus Experience. Oculus Rift is one of the latest installments of headgear for you to experience the internet as an alternate reality. The Oculus website is a platform from which you can utilize your headset and watch VR videos or play VR games to your heart’s content. There is even an education platform all in the wonders of virtual reality. Users can plug in their smartphones and hook up the headgear and enjoy all types of VR entertainment from the Oculus website.
Youtube is another excellent platform for watching 360-degree VR videos. Youtube has created a new and exciting way to watch their favorite live streaming videos and enter the world of what they’re witnessing. All you need to do is click on the video and move it around to experience a full panoramic view. Here, you will delve deeper into virtual reality and 3D experience. By using a Google or cardboard viewer, your experience will be even more impressive. With the use of Spatial Audio, viewer’s sounds will come from all directions, just as if they were in that environment themselves.
Believe it or not but you can enjoy full 360-degree videos on the social media giant Facebook. Back in September 2015, Facebook allowed hundreds of millions of users to enjoy 360-degree view videos. By clicking and dragging your mouse in any direction of the video, you can see anywhere around you. Just like you were in your friend’s video. If you’re using a smartphone or other mobile devices, you can touch the screen and move it around. You can even turn the device sideways and the video will move with you.
LittlsStar is a virtual reality content hub. It allows viewers to use headgear such as Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, PS 4’s, or HTC Vive to watch VR videos. Users will be submerged into an outstanding 3D experience. LittlStar also has apps for Apple devices and Android. They boldly claim that mobile devices are going to be the ultimate way to view 360-degree videos in the future. These apps use a gyroscope, a touchpad, and a Google cardboard device for users to immerse themselves in the videos.
There is no surprise that entertainment giants Disney are putting millions of dollars into their VR startups. One startup which has been helped immeasurably is Jaunt VR. This is a content creator for the world of virtual reality. With their state-of-the-art video recording camera, the Jaunt One, the company claims to have the ultimate cinematic solution.
