360VR Content Continues To Rise In Popularity, But Why?

360VR continues to gain popularity with each passing day. In fact, a recent study has shown that about 180 million people worldwide were actively involved with 360VR in 2018. This is an astonishing number! However, all signs point to this only being the beginning. So, what’s the reason for the rise in popularity of 360? Well, it’s quite simple. 360VR allows for engaging and immersive experiences that other forms of media don’t possess. 

Engaging 360VR Rise in Popularity

360VR Drives Engagement

By far, the most appealing aspect of 360 is the interactive environment that each photo and video create. Within this environment, you can control exactly what you’d like to see. On a smartphone, you do this by rotating the image with your finger. If your wearing a headset, such as the Oculus Go, panning of the image is done by simply moving your head. Being able to click anywhere, at any time, to change perspective offers a far more compelling experience than standard video. In fact, studies show that 66% of people are more likely to watch 360 videos over standard videos. Additionally, because 360 videos are interactive and engaging, people watch them for an extended period. Instead of taking hundreds of photos of the big game, you can now take a single 360 photo or video that captures everything all around you. Now, when you get home to playback your content, you can immerse yourself in the experience all over again. Therefore, to say nothing compares to 360VR is an understatement.
