Over the past week we have seen a bunch of stories and articles about people creating Virtual Reality video using multiple GoPro Hero cameras. When you think about how GoPro revolutionized action sports videos, giving us first person perspectives and never before possible camera angles, it is only natural that they would lead the way towards democratizing the creation of Virtual Reality content.
Videoguys believes in the emerging Virtual Reality market as well and we are working on creating partnerships with many of the companies making the tools, both hardware and software, that makes this all possible. We've added a Virtual Reality categroy to our blog, and we hope to begin working with and publishing out own Virtual Reality guides and articles in the near future.
