Once all these combined components constructed videos for virtual reality will be visible by pressing a button representing the google cardboard helmet, with a field of view and a sense of extra depth YouTube touted as an experience "as if you were. "

Not just reserved for virtual reality videos

The second feature of the updated mobile YouTube allows the possibility to use the same virtual reality setup for all the videos, not just those optimized for this aspect. Although the report is not identical, the feature creates a rather unique experience in front of your eyes.

If the experience tempts you, you can order one or more google cardboard, or build one yourself if you have the soul of a handyman, using information from its home page. Note that there are also a handful of applications and games dedicated to virtual reality, including some that transform your smartphone into a virtual cinema screen.

You enter the 21st century!
