This article introduces DIVA's ability to support virtual reality and 360° immersive experiences.
Note: 360° video production is required to support virtual reality and 360° videos.
What is an immersive video experience?
DIVA's 360° videos and Virtual Reality (VR) support provides users with an immersive experience when using a headset or accelerometer to consume live and video-on-demand (VOD) content. Given an event is filmed using an omnidirectional camera, DIVA supports 360° immersive videos and virtual reality.
What are 360° videos?
360° videos allow users to enjoy a panoramic experience, moving their device around to alter the camera angle and perspective. All DIVA features are supported in this view, as with standard videos.
What is Virtual Reality?
Virtual Reality is an immersive mode that requires users to wear a headset and is only supported on smartphone devices. Content displays on two separate screens inside the headset, and as the head moves around, users are submerged in the virtual world as if they were there in person. On-screen instructions are provided upon entering VR mode.
Which devices are supported?
- 360° videos are supported on mobiles and tablets on web, iOS, and Android
- Virtual Reality functionality is only supported on mobiles
