The virtual reality revolution is almost here, and YouTube wants to be ready for it.</p><p>
The Google-owned property is getting ready to roll out live 360-degree videos, according to Buzzfeed (http://www.buzzfeed.com/brendanklinkenberg/youtube-developing-live-360-degree-video-capability#.fnJqJLlLzp). This would allow users to watch live concerts and other events with a virtual reality headset or just pan around the scene with a mobile device. A launch date for the purported live 360-degree video service is unknown.</p><p>
To get ready for live streaming, YouTube has been meeting with 360-degree camera makers, Buzzfeed says. What those conversations were about, however, is unclear.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3028754/data-center-cloud/youtube-may-get-live-360-degree-videos.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
