The popular open source video player VLC has added 360-degree video support to its desktop version and plans to add the same support to mobile devices in the near future. It is reported that VLC will support VR headsets such as Oculus and Google Daydream next year.


The Windows and Machitosh versions of the software are now available for free download on the VLC website. The application can play 360-degree videos, 360-degree photos and panoramic pictures, and users can move the perspective with the mouse or keyboard.


Videolan, the non-profit organization behind VLC, has partnered with VR camera developer GiropTIc to add 360-degree support to VLC. Richard Ollier, co-founder and CEO of GiropTIc, said: "VLC is one of the most used video players in the world. 360-degree playback support will allow millions of VLC users to take advantage of forward-looking emerging technologies and help popularize them."


Jean-Baptiste Kempf, one of the lead developers of VLC player, said in an interview with Variety that his team has begun researching spatial 3D audio technology to ensure VLC's support for VR headsets in the future. He also revealed that VLC is likely to be compatible with Android-based VR devices such as Daydream VR first, and then roll out to PC VR headsets such as HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
