YouTube set to support 360 degree video footage in the coming weeks

Google has announced that they’re hard at work on letting you upload 360 degree video footage onto YouTube.  They didn’t specify exactly how the footage will work, but it’s supposedly set to debut on the video streaming service in the coming weeks.Of course, if you want to upload any 360 degree video, you’re going to have to use a camera that actually supports it. Your smartphone or point-and-shoot isn’t going to get the job done. Viewing the videos also seems like it’ll be tricky, especially on something small like a smartphone screen, but Google might just implement an IMAX-esque panoramic view on widescreen monitors or tablets. There’s also a lot of potential with VR headsets like Google cardboard or Samsung’s Gear VR, but that might be putting the horse in front of the cart at this point.We’ll keep you updated as soon as Google announces anything else.
