Creating a 360° video
Having 360° video in VR is quite interesting. You get to see that a lot in virtual tours, and you also see it in VR roller coasters. One of the best parts about having 360° video is that it makes videos much more accessible because you don’t need a headset to have 360° video experiences. You can actually have those experiences on a web browser using tools from YouTube and a variety of other sources.
In this section, we will use the Unity Recorder to create a 360° video file from our animated show, much as we did with the animated show MP4 file. Then, we will add metadata to it so that the platforms we play the 360° video on understand that it’s a 360° video. After that, we can upload it to a video source such as YouTube to stream and share.
To record a 360° video of the animated scene, follow these steps:
- Duplicate the recorder track and disable the original recorder track.
- Click on the recorder...
