OMG I just understood what you meant with 360! You can swipe to the direction you want, like in Quicktime VR, but animated! I didn't know Youtube made it possible! The video was just showing the rails, I thought it was boring until I understood the concept.
- jakub_g 10y agoThanks for the comment. BTW Make sure to open the video in Chrome or Opera, the 360 thing does not work in Firefox
- j4_james 10y agoFWIW, it works for me in Firefox on Windows 10. Click and drag with the mouse, clicking on the arrows, or swiping on a touchscreen all work fine.
- icebraining 10y agoSame here with FF 46 on Ubuntu.
- jakub_g 10y agoOk turns out I had webgl disabled in Firefox in about:config. False alarm.
- Piskvorrr 10y agoYup, the default direction of the camera is somewhat unfortunate - and there's no hint of controlling it :(
- piquadrat 10y agoMake sure to open it on your mobile or tablet. You can pan around physically with your device, which makes it quite immersive (more so if you have a VR device, of course).
- Analemma_ 10y agoIf you've got a recent-ish smartphone, I would highly recommend getting yourself a Google Cardboard for watching YouTube 360 videos, it really makes it even cooler. Yeah it's "poor man's VR" and certainly not in the same league as things like the Rift/Vive, but it's 15 bucks, so why not? I definitely feel like I've gotten 15 bucks worth of use out of mine, mostly because of videos like this.
