Also, YouTube commented on The Verge, "We are working hard so that we can respond to 360 degree movies by next week," and revealed correspondence to 360 degree movies. In addition, according to Giroptic, Google is planning to be able to upload a 360 degree movie to street view as well.

The 360-degree camera can shoot movies that can not be shot with conventional cameras, but in order to enjoy them, it is necessary to use dedicated software or a special movie player on the browser.

For example, in the case of "RICOH THETA m15", all the spherical photographs taken are on THETA's exclusive sitegalleryBy uploading to the web page, you can embed it on the web page, you can freely manipulate the picture and view it anywhere 360 ​​degrees. However, in the case of a movie, it is very difficult to share all the celestial sprites with software for exclusive PC, and even if you can shoot a wonderful movie, it is very difficult to share it with people all over the world.
