Re: 360 video since... 1994?
There certainly is a degree of FOMO out there for VR. Entertainment companies are concerned if they don't get in and spend big bucks they will be left out. So we're going to continue to hear about VR for a very long time, even if it isn't in everyone's living room.

Re: 360 video since... 1994?
I really wonder how high resolution can get? There are 5K displays. When does it stop? At some point, we reach the limits of chemistry and physics. Surely, just like Moore's law is ending, the limits of display resolution must also hit a ceiling.

Re: 360 video since... 1994?
@mhhf1ve I would say right now all of the hype is moving towards 4K...

Re: 360 video since... 1994?
I'm not so sure that many consumers are "asking" for 360 video. I think a more urgent request would be video that loaded quickly... 360VR is probably a lower priority than 4K video, I'd guess.

I think that a lot of people (including myself) are having trouble imaging the scope of VR video. When I read about watching football from a player's perspective it gets me a little excited about a media that I am not quite sold on yet.

Re: 360 video since... 1994?
Perhaps Facebook is giving them the nudge they needed to forge ahead.
For a while I used an app called Vyclone (Video Cyclone) - which was a type of 360 Video sharing software that would allow you and your friends to create "mash ups" of the same video but from different angles. I thought it would be a huge hit but it just crashed and burned. They ran out of money and had to close up shop.
Perhaps just a little before their time.

Re: 360 video since... 1994?
Apple is definitely a different company today than it was in 1994. I would venture a guess that they will get there when they get there, but they are not in any huge rush to push something out right away (they learned that the hard way with Apple Maps).
I also think that the momentum is building now because consumers are asking for it. We have become so accustomed, over the last decade, to having our minds blown by new technology every quarter that we are starting to crave it. That is of course, only my opinion.
