Periscope twitter and more and more like Facebook and YouTube was introduced officially support to the live broadcast of the 360-degree video.
Earlier this month, the mobile application Twitter received an update which introduced the possibility of a live streaming without the obligation to have installed on your device even Periscope . Today takes another step forward, with the addition of support for 360-degree videos , live broadcasts with both applications.

Starting today you can watch the 360-degree interactive video broadcasters and explore what happens around them. You will be able to take a closer look at what they see important people and go into the behind the scenes of exclusive events.
For the viewer, the mode of interaction with movies is similar to that already seen on YouTube and Facebook : desktop browser, simply click on one point of the player and drag in the direction you want to rotate the view , and if you are using smartphone you have to physically move the device, as if it were a window into an alternate world. At the moment there is no type of compatibility with viewers for the virtual reality , able to provide an even more immersive, but it is said that it is not introduced in the future. Below is the first example, in collaboration with Alex Pettitt, one of the most famous broadcasters platform.

Initially functionality for live streaming to 360 degrees will be accessible only by selected partners and approved directly by Twitter (you can fill out a form online to get on the waiting list), but the rollout will continue over the next few weeks. The visible video above was shot using a special device, the Nano Insta360 that broadcasts live on reviews by an iPhone connection.
