YouTube announces several new features: VR180 (virtual
reality at 180 °), optimizing the player on mobile for vertical videos in
particular and a new way to share videos with friends.
VR180: virtual reality at 180 ° the interest of virtual
reality at 180 ° is double, according to YouTube:
- in reality, a person rarely
turns his head at 360 ° to observe a scene, we usually just look right and
left.
- For those who
create videos and who are interested in virtual reality, the necessary
equipment is very expensive and is delicate.
For these two reasons, YouTube now offers videos at 180 °
and works with LG, Yi and Lenovo to create cheap cameras (about $ 200,
available this winter, more information on the site dedicated: VR180). YouTube
has put together some VR180 videos on that playlist.
A player suitable for vertical videos other very good news
for creators and spectators. YouTube will finally modernize its reader so that
it adapts to the format of the downloaded video – especially on mobile, where
the display of a vertical video left clearly to be desired. Now you won't have
to worry about the format of your video: The YouTube player will automatically
adapt!
Sharing a YouTube video without leaving the YouTube
application also wants to make it easier to share videos from the mobile app.
Within a few weeks, you can choose to share a video with one or more friends.
They will receive a notification on their mobile to watch the video and then
you can discuss it from this new YouTube messaging, accessible by Swiping to the
left – as on Snapchat.
