Not all videos on YouTube are in VR. Videos such as the Hunger Games Experience and the Apollo 11 VR video trailer already back up virtual reality, but at that place aren't many others at the moment. Starting today, though, YouTube will offer a new Cardboard mode to turn any video information technology hosts into a "virtual movie theatre" experience. It will divide any video into 2 stereoscopic displays, then you tin pop your telephone into a VR headset, put the goggles on, sit dorsum and watch your video in a virtual 3D environment.

To try that out, just go to any YouTube video on the Android version of the app, turn on full screen mode, tap the three-dot settings button and select Cardboard. Then, put your phone into a Cardboard viewer -- models starting time at around $20 and work with most phones -- and strap on the glasses. This eliminates the need to hold up your phone when watching a long video. The feature doesn't seem to be available on the web version of YouTube notwithstanding.

Don't fault that for VR content, though. The Paper-thin feature does not add together any depth to video content that is not actually VR. Yet, information technology'due south still a neat new way to experience your favorite YouTube videos.
