LIFE VR | HOME: A UN VR Film from LIFE VR on Vimeo.
In 2016, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon traveled to more than ten countries in five months to draw global attention to the urgent needs of some 130 million people severely impacted by armed conflicts and natural disasters. A VR crew was granted unprecedented access to capture the journey.
Released in Mr. Ban’s final weeks in office after a ten-year term, “Home” offers viewers a rare behind-the-scenes look at Ban’s visits to these communities. A triumphant story of loss, recovery, and spreading hope, the VR film features an original song by the Black Eyed Peas.
Welcome to Vimeo 360. Explore 360 will be showcasing selections from the newest 360 provider, Vimeo.
I hope that you are ready for your daily fix of VR juice. Drink it up, there will be a new one tomorrow.
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?
