These videos are gaining more popularity with recent developments in virtual reality. Web sites like YouTube and Facebook already support this new video format and they can be viewed in almost all new browsers.
VLC’s creators VideoLan teamed up with 360-degree camera maker Giroptic to develop its support for 36 0-degree videos. VLC will soon be able to display 360-degree photos, panoramas, and videos. Users will be able to use their mouse and keyboard to control point of view in the footage.
