There is no doubt about it: the development of virtual reality is continuing at a rapid pace this year. The new year has already been rung in virtually in some places. For the first time, people all over the world have been able to experience a immersive experience at the New Year celebrations in London and be mesmerised by the fireworks there. As all 110,000 live tickets were sold out, the 360° Live Stream an ingenious alternative. Especially for those who prefer to spend a cosy evening at home instead of moving around in huge crowds. The whole thing was made possible by BBC Taster, the broadcaster's innovation machinery.
Small but nice New Year's Eve party
What is probably the first New Year's Eve party on a smaller scale was also documented on YouTube. Three friends met up with Playstation VR in a virtual sports bar. The realisation is still a little poor, as you can only see the VR equipment (glasses and controller) but not the participants. But what is not yet is still possible and the new year has only just begun. With this in mind: Happy New Year everyone!
