Mostly made off the idea of making VR content easier to shoot for creators, you’ll be able to set up and film your videos the way you normally would with any other camera. The video can be viewed on screens or on mobile. 3D video in VR isn’t the greatest idea, but it’s good that YouTube is making some effort to standardize and increase its availability.
