avengers 360 degrees

While the earliest videos released for YouTube for Android’s new 360-degree viewing experience were cool, we’ve been waiting for a chance to be thrown into the universe of our favorite fictional stories, like the ones which Marvel writes. Thankfully Samsung and Marvel have done just that in order to promote their new Avengers movie.

If you head to this YouTube video on your Android phone or within Google Chrome for Android (it’s also embedded above), you’ll be able to watch the Battle for the Avengers Tower scene in full 360-degree motion. This means you’ll be able to move your phone around and view different parts of the scene, whether that’s behind you, to the left of you, above you or whichever direction of the action you’re hoping to check out.

Just try not to get too freaked out when you find yourself waking up with Ironman standing right next to you. Oh, and those should be an especially cool experience for those with virtual reality headsets such as the Samsung Gear VR, so be sure to try watching it with that if you have it!

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  1. Woooooooow! They need to improve image quality tho

    1. 1080p is fine… looked great to me

    2. If you view in Chrome, they defaulted me to 240p. Click the little gear on the bottom right and bump it up.

  2. Didn’t realize how awesome this was going to be until I just watched it on my phone.

  3. It’s like… IMAX – for my phone.

  4. I just watched it in my Samsung galaxy note two, via the youTube site and… Nothing, just a fish eye lense.

    Perhaps the writer forgot to mention what actual app to use to watch this properly?

    Perhaps it only works on a tiny amount of phones, or something?

    1. It should work in Chrome and in the Youtube App. Worked for me on a Sony Z3 and HTC One m7.

    2. It just showed “2” on my YouTube app (Nexus 4). Then I got the dreaded “There was a problem while playing touch to retry” infinite loop and now I can’t watch any YouTube videos. Argh.

      p.s. The web experience in Chrome just sucks.

    3. You have to use the YouTube app, from the Play store.

      1. Yes. The original article wasn’t clear/made a mistake. They should change it to “Open this link via the official YouTube app for android”.

  5. .

  7. Quality is poooooor
