What does virtual reality video mean?
Many have noticed that I post strange videos, when watching them, you can shift the image in the range of 180 degrees, as if "tilting your head" to the sides. This can be done simply by holding down the left mouse button and moving it.

Usually such videos have this icon in the upper left corner

Like in this video:

Of course, the best way to really enjoy these videos is to get an inexpensive Oculus Quest 2, which will be more immersive, and it costs much less than a top-end mobile phone.

But if you do not want to spend money on an “incomprehensible toy”, and you are only interested in video, then there is an easy way to watch video in VR format using your phone and a small device with lenses
The price for such devices is not that expensive.
In total, to view in virtual reality mode, you just need to click on the video and click on the cardboard icon, after which the video will start in a special mode

As a result, what is required for this:

Mobile phone with a high pixel density (to make the video more enjoyable to watch, otherwise a grid of pixels may be visible)
A device like VR Box or Google Cardboard and apps

Youtube application (on android [play.google.com]or iPhone[play.google.com])

After you open your first video in VR mode, you need to click the gear and install

After that, scan the qr code for your device, which can be found on this page[www.vr-box.com.ar]. Almost always, such a qr code comes with a cardboard or vr-box.

I wish you the best and welcome to the world of virtual reality and amazing videos for a more immersive experience!
