VR & 360 Video: Where’s the Good Stuff?

There’s a lot of stuff out there. 360 video natively uploaded to Facebook, Youtube, VR platforms like MettaVR and VRideo. Then there are independent producers and experimenters and weird things that are kinda fun and creative but also just bizarre.

So, where is all the good stuff and how do you find it? Beauty is, of course in the eye of the beholder but in the immersive technology scene and specifically for immersive journalism here’s where I go to find stuff:

1. Aggregation — The Newsletters:

Road to VR —Daily dose of VR news

Around since 2011, pretty comprehensive and industry-wide. Also seemingly dude-centric.

Haptical —Newer publication

Created by Deniz Ergürel, 2016 Tow-Knight CUNY fellow.

All Things VR — Weekly curated email

Hammer & Tusk — Another weekly newsletter

They’ve got a new podcast as well.

2. Individuals—The Creators:

Nonny De La Pena (Emblematic Group)

Aka the grandmother of VR. Super smart lady doing interesting work.

Chris Milk (Vrse)

Aka the grandfather of VR or the bro of VR? (I don’t know him, but I like the TED talks. Lots of music-focused stuff).

Robert Hernandez & the Jovrnalism crew (Jouvrnalism)

Always great to see what creative students + professionals are up to.

Barry Pousman (Variable Labs)

He’s worked on projects with the UN, Google and Xprize. I’ll be keeping an eye out for what’s up next.

Oculus Launch Pad Family (Oculus)

After being selected as part of the Oculus Launch Pad, I’ve met a variety of creators working on small and large-scale projects.

3. Masses—The Platforms:

Vrideo

Anything goes. (Vrideo.com)

Metta VR

Created out of the Matter incubator. (Mettavr.com)

Littlestar VR

ABC and Fusion are putting their videos here. (Littlestar.com)

Jaunt

High-end content creators with a very fancy camera. (JauntVr)

Youtube

No explanation needed. (Youtube 360)

Facebook

Again, obvious. (Search 360 videos in Facebook and explore!)
