360 Degrees

I think one thing that’s really big in broadcasting that is really important right now is new high-tech cameras. There’s one called iPIX cameras that take video 360 degrees. It’s called the V360 and in Popular Mechanics, it says that “when this technology called iPIX Movies, gains acceptance, it could revolutionize the world of entertainment.” Broadcasting is all about bringing the story to the audience. If they can get a 360 view of the area, it will seem even more real to them. This also has the ability to make things more interactive for the viewers because they can choose all the different angles of the video that they want to watch. They no longer have to depend on the videographer to decide what to show them.The camera is also really small, smaller than a cell phone and the content can also be broadcast live. I think this is really good at making broadcasts more live. (Photo by Michel Tcherevkoff of Popular Mechanics). F0r more info
