The Winter Youth Olympic Games will be held from February 12 to February 21, 2016. This Winter Youth Olympic Games is the second Winter Youth Olympic Games held by Norway. The Winter Youth Olympic Games is an event for young people. Samsung believes that we should use some new and more creative ways to broadcast live for everyone. Samsung plans to use a 360 ° panoramic camera to shoot this event for young people.
Younghee Lee, Samsung's executive vice president of global marketing, said: "We are very proud that Samsung will convey the spirit of Lillehammer Winter Youth Olympic Games to the world through VR devices." And this is the first time that Samsung has broadcast such a large-scale event through VR devices. Samsung can gain more experience in VR live broadcast from this VR live broadcast.
This is the first time in history that the content of the Olympic Games is broadcast live through VR. Samsung will convert the live broadcast of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Youth Olympic Games and some important events into real-time VR streaming media, which users can watch through Samsung mobile phones combined with VR devices.
