To develop the functionality, VLCs development team worked with 360-degree camera maker Giroptic.
It also supports the spherical display mode, which is another step toward full VR capability.
Be warned, though, that technical previews are often buggy.
VLC will also get 3D audio playback, including head tracking headphones.
Well keep you posted.
We are very proud to contribute our expertise in 360 to this open source player.
The final release of version 3.0 of VLC is expected on November 30, 2016.
