Nikon’s foray into 360° video continued at the ‘Nikon Innovation Forum: The 360° Video Revolution’ event in NYC last week. There the company’s recently released KeyMission 360 action camera was the centerpiece among non-360° action cameras of the same series. In addition to the camera displays and examples of footage shot on Nikon’s KeyMission series, the...
Black Friday has passed, but a few holiday VR deals remain. For a limited time, Amazon is offering a $100 gift card with every Rift purchase. It might not be the same straight up $100 discount HTC had offered on the Vive during Black Friday, but if you’re a regular Amazon shopper, it’s nearly as...
Beyond being an immersive platform for video games and a tool for businesses, virtual reality is growing into an important means of telling stories. 360-degree videos and VR have been used in investigative journalism, new documentaries, and other similar narrative-driven experiences. In these early stages, a lot of work has to been put into developing...
Market researcher SuperData scaled back its virtual reality forecast for 2016, particularly after a disappointing launch of the PlayStation VR headsets. But it still believes that consumer VR software could grow from $407 million in revenue in 2016 to $14 billion by 2020.

Before the calendar ever turned over from 2015 to 2016 people were already dubbing this as the “year of virtual reality.” This monicker was given for good reason.
