YouTube announced that it will soon offer support to 360 degree videos.
So if you have one of these devices that can capture images at 360 degrees, allowing you to "navigate" in the scene as if you were in real life, then you will be able to download these clips on the video service Google in "the coming weeks".

According to information relayed by Gizmodo, the high-tech site has got some words of a YouTube spokesman who said: "You have always wanted to get prospects to 360 degrees to see everything that is going on in the scene? That is why we are working to provide support to the 360 degree videos in the coming weeks ".
The fact that the time is referred to as "weeks" should mean that we will see the service probably early next month, although that is a guess. 2015 is certainly the ideal year to bring these new features in YouTube, and since virtual reality helmets that can be immersed in the video are now flooding the market. Moreover, Google has its own solution with Google Cardboard this virtual reality helmet made of cardboard. In addition, and as Gizmodo notes, the ability to really look around us "naturally" in a video 360 degrees will certainly be an interesting proposal.
However, it is unclear if the videos will be visible to anyone who uses a computer, or if they will need a virtual reality helmet to watch the whole scene.
YouTube has also recently started experimenting with some users to convert video clips to animated GIF format for easy sharing, and some new - this feature is being tested in beta, and we can also hope that will be pushed to all in the near future.
