Samsung powers the music industry's first interactive virtual reality performance

It's great that advancements are being made in virtual reality technology but unless there's enough content out there for users one can't really expect them to jump onboard. Samsung knows this and that's why it's pushing to bring more VR content to users who own the Gear VR headset. Last night in what was a first for the music and VR industry Samsung powered a live interactive virtual reality performance across Europe.

Years & Years pushed the envelope of virtual reality with a truly unique gig that was curated specifically for live viewing on Gear VR headsets. Fans across Europe were able to tune in live and see the band perform some of its best tracks in VR. They could switch between three different camera angles on the headsets to truly immerse themselves in the performance. To commemorate the release of the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge, Samsung is going to release content from this very unique VR performance in 360 degree video through its Facebook and YouTube channels on March 11 and it's going to provide the content through the Samsung + Years & Years app that's available on the Oculus store.
