This new feature will be added in version VLC 3.0. To achieve this, the VLC team has worked closely with Giroptic, a company that manufactures 360º cameras.
Compatibility with 360º videos is just the first step of VideoLan's ambitious project for 2017, the company plans to offer support for virtual reality headsets such as Google Daydream, HTC Vive, Oculus Rifty Razer OSVR. These features will come first to desktop computers and then be ported to mobile versions for Android and iOS. The introduction of 3D audio is also planned in the near future.
