Totally agree. We just shot some 360 footage of the Winnipeg Folk Festival (http://www.winnipegfolkfestival.ca) and I'm sure people are going to love this way of experiencing concerts, sports, you name it.

We also just backed the Sphericam kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1996234044/sphericam-2-...), so I look forward to a much more streamlined process and the ability to play with more theatrical ideas. Lots of film makers around here who I'm sure could do some amazing things with this tech!

Google Jump is shaping up to be an interesting offering. "Jump is coming to YouTube soon" https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/jump/ YouTube is probably already Google's highest grossing platform. I assume that Google will be a dominant player in the paid VR marketplace. I've no doubt that within just a couple of years that the majority of content that I personally buy will be VR.
