Fears over a potential outbreak of COVID-19 has forced Google to postpone its annual I/O developer conference, normally held in May at the Shoreline Amphitheater just across the street from Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California.
“Due to concerns around the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with health guidance from the CDC, WHO, and other health authorities, we have decided to cancel the physical Google I/O event at Shoreline Amphitheatre,” Google said in a statement.
“Over the coming weeks, we will explore other ways to evolve Google I/O to best connect with and continue to build our developer community. We’ll continue to update the Google I/O website.”
Those who’ve already purchased tickets will receive a full refund by March 13th as well as the ability to automatically purchase tickets for Google I/O 2021.
Much like how Facebook has pledged $500,000 to San Jose organizations after canceling F8, Google is donating a sizable $1M to local Mountain View businesses and organizations in support of educational STEM and science programs.
While Google has confirmed all in-person events have been canceled, there’s still the possibility of a remote conference. Facebook has already stated it will be hosting a series of live streams to compensate for an in-person conference; Google could no doubt pull off a similar feat, organizing remote panels and conducting online workshops in lieu of physical activation.
With three major conferences canceled in the span of a single month, one can only guess as to which event is on the chopping block next.
What is 360 VR Video?
360 video is a video that is recorded in all directions at the same time with multiple cameras. The videos are stitched together either internally in the camera or externally using special software.
It then forms one spherical video that is controlled by the viewer, enabling them to look up, down, right or left at their discretion.
Is 360 Video Virtual Reality?
I want you to be the judge.
