Virtual reality and 360-degree video is a huge advancement in media today. With many media outlets jumping on the trend creating their own sub-outlets for this format it is slowly becoming more popular each day.
VR headsets have been available for over a year now, and more content is constantly being developed for them. We should expect that rate to increase as new headset models are being released from established technology companies, prompted in part by the new VR features expected in Microsoft’s next update to Windows 10. As the potential customer base increases, the software continues to mature, and the content offerings broaden. And with the advances in graphics processing technology, we are finally getting to a point where it is feasible to edit videos in VR, on a laptop.
The 360 Round has 17 2-megapixel cameras and six microphones (and two mic ports), which work together to create 3D VR video. Samsung says that it’s powerful enough to live stream 4K VR at 30 fps.
