YouTube Chief Business Officer Robert Kyncl on Thursday laid out the direction the service plans to take this year, including new partnerships with GoPro to support 360-degree video content and support for 4K HDR, or high dynamic range, video. So-called cord cutters are having an impact on streaming video services, including those of competitors such as Amazon and YouTube, he said during his keynote address at CES 2016. The amount of time people spend watching digital video is growing 25 percent year on year, Kyncl noted.
I said that you could get a VR camera for $500. That's wrong, it's more like $2K. You buy the VR camera mount for $500 and a a handful of cheap goPro cameras to fit in it. GoPro will release a single VR camera called Odyssey soon, rumored to be $15k.
