Google does come up up with something really exciting every time and no surprises that this time it's something with the Youtube Videos. Now you would say what's the big deal in it but the big deal lies in the new feature where one can have a 360 degree experience of videos on youtube just like you have with the maps. Yes, Google introduced this pretty much innovative feature where one can watch 360 degree video on youtube.
We all love youtube for the kind of thing it is as one can have access to videos from round the globe with some pretty interesting videos in there. Its a great place to listen to music share your stuffs and also to earn and it's enhancing.Youtube's expansion is actually a good thing as it's getting more and more interesting with every update.Coming back to the new feature, with this feature one can not only have a look at what's happening in the video but also the environment as well with a complete view of the video. So, in other words you can see the video from the perspective of the thing/guy that is actually there in the video. For example if you are watching a racing video then you can have a view from the drivers perspective as well also you can see the in and around details of the environment. Currently not all videos are available in 360 degree but a few are does available which will give you a fair bit of idea that what it is all about. I will be sharing links to the videos below.
Now you can even watch the video from an all together different perspective. While the extra feature comes at a cost as it takes 400% to 500% of bandwidth if you compare it with the normal youtube videos. Obviously its a bit on a slower side and people with lower bandwidth might get frustrated watching it but one thing is for sure that you will be seeing a lot of changes in future in this sort of innovative technology. However, this is currently available only on the chrome browser or if you are using an Android device then you can do so with the youtube App(the work is still underway to support all other platforms considering the immense possibilities in this technology). In order to experience this feature you just need to tap and drag on the video and you can watch each and every fine detail on that particular video. Imagine the possibilities of creating your own video with such a real time experience that can be shared with others. While only few 360 degree videos are available on youtube few of those are -
