360 rumors

In case you haven't checked it out, Immersive Shooter is a very useful resource for VR content creators and journalists.  Here are some of the stories from the past week on Immersive Shooter: Intel will be bringing 360 video live streams and replays to the next Olympics Global Editors Network panel on VR in journalism , moderated by Immersive Shooter's Editor-at-Large Robert Hernandez from the GEN Summit in Vienna.  Here's a video of the panel discussion: McClatchy's 360 video workflow for breaking news Kandao Obsidian to be launching soon; here are the specifications .   You can also check out samples I posted previously . Jaunt VR camera videos to be offered as stock content through Getty Images . You can also check out my guest post there this week , talking about the Insta360 Pro, the Garmin Virb 360, and the Lanparte LA3D-VR-01.

On Friday January 20, the United States will inaugurate its 45th President, Donald Trump.  USA Today Network will be recording and livestreaming the inauguration in 360. The camera that USA Today will be using is a  Nikon Keymission 360 (review and related posts here) , a camera that is actionproof (waterproof, freezeproof, shockproof) and currently the only 4k consumer camera that stitches videos automatically in-camera, making it useful for journalists who need a quick turnaround time. The Keymission is also  the 360 camera used by the Associated Press . The Keymission doesn't have livestreaming capabilities so USA Today will be using a modified version of the Keymission. Thank you very much to Jim Jensen (moderator of Google's Photo Sphere Community ) for bringing this to my attention!
