360° video from the inside of a stadium demolition

While from a technical standpoint I find these 360° videos really interesting but from fromt the standpoint of a person just watching, I find them frustrating. I feel, that no matter what way I'm facing, I'll miss out on something happening in another direction and that I'd have to watch the video many times in order to get the full experience. Does anyone else feel that way?

That's just a reflection of how the world is. There's always something behind you.

In the real world you have stereo hearing and the ability to dart your eyes. This video has a similar feeling to a bad dream where Bad Stuff is happening but you can't move quickly enough.

It is the interface. You can turn your head easily, but with this thing you have to click and drag around. Maybe needs WASD-like kb UI...

While I don't feel frustrated by it, per se, I found myself watching the panoramic view on the bottom.
