YouTube supports hosting of 360-degree movies. A special type of ICE layer can be used to view these movies across the whole Igloo canvas. This tutorial shows how to find and display a YouTube 360 movie.
Non-360 YouTube movies should be viewed using a normal WebView layer.
Add a WebView
(You can ignore this step if you still have your YouTube WebView from the previous tutorial.)
Create a new WebView Layer using the Canvas Toolbar Add Content > New > WebView. Set the URL of the Webview to http://www.youtube.com .
Find and select a YouTube 360 movie
Enter ‘360 movies’ in the search field in YouTube. Select one of the 360 movies from the search results.
TIP: Virtual Reality - YouTube ( www.youtube.com/360) has a great selection of 360 video samples
Display a YouTube 360 movie
The WebView will detect that a YouTube video is playing, and a YouTube button will be added to the WebView toolbar. Press the YouTube button to open the video in 360 mode.
The video can be paused and played using the in-context GUI. This can also be used to scroll to different points in the movie.
TIP: The movie in 360 mode is playing in a new layer and this can be saved to a session for reloading at a later date.
TIP: The WebView layer can be set to pinned and used for further selection of 360 movies.
