YouTube kicked off widespread support for virtual reality video content in the Android YouTube app.
Android handset owners can find VR content in YouTube and watch it through the Google Cardboard viewer. The VR content includes 360-degree videos that allow people to pan in all directions.
Further, Google says any video on YouTube can be viewed through Google Cardboard for a virtual movie theater effect. Users need only tap the Google Cardboard icon on individual videos to see the VR content or the movie theater effect.
YouTube for Android is free to download from the Google Play Store.
