Giroptic's 360cam product can capture video in 360-degree format

According to Neowin , the 360-degree video format is an entirely new type of video viewing that allows users to experience the surroundings in a customized way, instead of just binding on a slide show in front.

Currently, there are a number of camera models on the market that support the ability to record video in 360-degree form like Giroptic's 360cam model. So, YouTube's support for watching this video is an inevitable trend in the future.

Detailed information about the time YouTube is supported has not been disclosed.
