WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (UPI) — The White House uploaded its first virtual reality-compatible, 360-degree video touring its interior holiday decor Friday.
The tour, which can be viewed on on YouTube or through virtual reality headsets like Google Cardboard, was stitched together using Google’s Jump, a 16-camera rig and software, The Verge reports.
The five-minute tour takes viewers through the East Landing, East Colonnade, East Garden Room, White House Library, Vermeil Room, State Dining Room and more. Sights of each room’s custom holiday decorations can be explored using a mouse for flatscreen viewers or by simply turning one’s head through a virtual reality headset such as those supported by Android.
Earlier this year, Facebook joined the 360-degree video bandwagon, launching its first set of videos in September including those sponsored by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, GoPro, Discovery, Saturday Night Live and Lebron James’ Uninterrupted.
YouTube introduced the new video compatibility in March on most of its mobile and web platforms.
