Youtube 360-degree capability!

Youtube have finally released that thing you never actually needed but now do!

Google's experts have been squireling away at implementing a full rotational viewing experience for tablet and smart phones users. If you've got a smart phone, jump over watch the video below from FullMag! with the use of Google Chrome or the Youtube App


For all PC and laptop users you will notice a distinctive curve to the image but for those on their more portable devices can see the whole scene from bottom to top, left to right. A rather surreal experience but a brilliant achievement. Although the video may lack the finesse and quality of a cinematographers camera, its undoubtedly a fun tool to immerse you into the scene.

With the rise of Youtube content creators and the media's attention on the platform, could we begin to see movies online hosted in 360-degrees?
