BBC Unveils VR, 360-Degree Video Projects

HollywoodReporter.com reports that the BBC is rolling out several 360-degree video and virtual reality projects, developed by the U.K. public broadcaster and partners, as it explores the potential and interest of the emerging medium for U.K. audiences.

Most of the content will be showcased for the first time at the Sheffield/Doc Fest starting on Friday.
