the first 360 degree off-road driving video, for Google Cardboard, or on Youtube, (brought to you by Nitto Tire) is created using a multi-camera custom rig which records in every direction.


Strap yourself in shotgun next to two-time “King” Shannon Campbell as he propels us through the race course during Ultra4’s 4 Wheel Parts Glen Helen Grand Prix in this virtual reality 360 degree video, in higher than 1080... this has 1440 and 2160 settings!



If you are watching this video on your computer, click on the video with left click, and hold that down, you pivot the view you have so you can look around... the future of cool videos is here!

OR

Option #1: You can watch this video on the existing YouTube app for Android by moving your phone or tablet around to see all the different angles while the video plays


Option #2: Google Cardboard https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/

Get Google Cardboard and assemble it

Open the YouTube app

Go to the Nitto Tire YouTube channel and search for “Ride Shotgun with Shannon Campbell in this 360 Virtual Reality Ultra4 Off-Road Experience”. You’ll know it’s the right one if it has this avatar,


 Select the video on the channel, and start playback

Touch the cardboard icon

You’ll notice that the screen splits into two smaller screens

Insert your phone into Cardboard

Look around to view the video in 360 degrees

  1. That is very cool technology! My internet is not good enough at work to take advantage of the HD quality, though. Check out this 360 video from the backseat of a Swiss aerobatic airplane flying over the mountains -
