YouTube VR is a software application which offers an interface forYouTube made forVR headsets.

Features

[edit]

YouTube VR allows for access to all YouTube-hosted videos, but particularly supports headset access for 360° and 180°-degree video (both in 2D and stereoscopic 3D). The interface shows videos behind two floating panels, with the video description and comments showing on the left panel and related videos or playlists showing on the right panel. Since September 2023, the app interface allows for both immersive and 2D panel modes. The immersive mode retains a surrounding virtual background, while the 2D panel mode allows for use inaugmented reality passthrough. The interface is accessible withhand tracking.[1]

Support for 3D and 360 video

[edit]

Since 2009, viewers have had the ability to watch 3D videos.[2] In 2015, YouTube began natively supporting360-degree video. Since April 2016, it allowed live streaming 360° video, and both normal and 360° video at up to 1440p, and since November 2016 both at up to 4K (2160p) resolution.[3][4][5] Citing the limited number of users who watched more than 90-degrees, it began supporting an alternative stereoscopic video format known as VR180 which it said was easier to produce,[6] which allows users to watch any video using virtual reality headsets.[7]

History

[edit]

Releases

[edit]

In November 2016, YouTube released YouTube VR, a dedicated version with an interface for VR devices, forGoogle's Daydream mobile VR platform on Android.[8] In December 2017, the app was released onSteam forHTC Vive.[9] In November 2018, YouTube VR was released on theOculus Store for theOculus Go headset.[10] YouTube VR was updated since for compatibility with successiveQuest devices, and was ported toPico 4.[11]

Starting with theOculus Quest, the app was updated for compatibility with mixed-reality passthrough modes on VR headsets. In April 2024, YouTube VR was updated to support 8K SDR video onMeta Quest 3.[12]

Prior to the release of theApple Vision Pro, YouTube announced that neither YouTube VR nor YouTube'sIPadOS app would be ported toVisionOS upon launch of the headset, and suggested that Vision Pro use a web browser to access YouTube videos in-headset.[13] However, the company later clarified that native support on visionOS was "on the roadmap".[14]
