HTC is working with various content partners including Red Bull TV, Major League Baseball and MacLaren Racing, 1Culture and Ceek VR to bring you exciting virtual reality content covering diverse interests. For immersive virtual reality content, you can pick from the offerings such as Everest: The VR Film Experience which provides users with a 360-degree first-person view (FPV) of a climb of the world’s tallest mountain.
An immersive virtual reality video experience provides one of the most exciting and captivating ways of connecting users with content of interest. Viveport Video now offers these users premium quality content that covers a vast spectrum of lifestyle genres. Viveport Video will also empower the developer community to finally have means of monetizing their premium video content and also share these experiences with a much larger audience.
