Previously, in response to the promotion of Cardboard VR technology, after YouTube video content gradually added 360-degree panoramic video content, related news also pointed out that YouTube will allow online live broadcasts through devices that support 360-degree panoramic image shooting, which is expected to make the live broadcast content more interesting.
According toInformation obtained by Buzfeed NewsGoogle is expected to add support for 360-degree panoramic imaging devices to its YouTube online live broadcast service, allowing users to use such devices to conduct more immersive live broadcasts.
However, it is not yet certain when YouTube is expected to add this feature, and Google has not responded to such rumors. However, it seems that it has been in talks with some manufacturers of 360-degree panoramic imaging equipment, and also plans to make YouTube directly compatible with the image formats captured by such equipment without the need for additional conversion.
If the cooperation is successfully negotiated, YouTube is expected to become the largest platform for 360-degree panoramic images or virtual reality content. It will also be more conducive to Google's promotion of virtual reality technology applications such as Cardboard VR, and provide greater impetus for the future expansion and development of virtual reality technology products.
