Time Couch - VR Demo by StressLevelZero (+ More 360-degree Videos)

You can now view or upload 360 degree vids on YouTube which can only be experienced, for now, on Chrome or Android.  That's right, you can now view certain vids in any direction. Just click on the arrows shown in the top-left corner of the vid after the it starts playing. 

We're using Chrome right now so we were able to check it out for ourselves with this latest vid by BrandonJLa, which is an in-engine Virtual Reality experience made by StressLevelZero where the alleyways were created using photo scans of real environments. 

There are many other 360 degree vids you can view in YouTube's playlist below. The picture is a bit fuzzy at first so use the gear icon to set it to the highest resolution (1440p or 2160p). It is said, these 360 degree videos take up 4 to 5 times as much bandwidth as a traditional YouTube videos.  Now go take a ride on a Lamborghini at high speeds, or experience a concert from the best seat in the house...
