Whether it’s a sporting event, a concert or even just a family gathering, everyone has ever wanted to be where there was not possible. Now instead, virtual reality and 360 ° videos can bring you closer to the places where you want to be, at the exact moment you want. Today we make another step forward with immersive video, with direct streaming to 360 ° and l ‘ audio space on YouTube. “ YouTube has launched the video media 360 ° in March 2015. and the creative, including musicians, athletes and brands, they are not made to pray right away using this technology. Now you add the direct streaming to 360 ° and spatial audio. First test, the Coachella music festival, held in California: Live streaming 360 ° performance of selected artists this weekend. And so we will be able to attend concerts as if we were present, being able to hear the sounds around us as it happens in real life, with all the specific nuances of depth, distance and intensity.
