US based virtual reality technology company NextVR has partnered with Samsung and Oculus to provide consumers with 360-degree video content.

NextVR s patented video capture technology introduces a new medium through which users can experience entertainment in virtual reality, including sporting events, concerts and travel destinations. The technology is the first solution to enable life-like viewing experiences using both live and recorded content streamed via current home and mobile internet connection speeds.

NextVR is partnering with several providers to record high-definition content to demonstrate the capabilities of its technology which has the ability to enhance both live and recorded content using CGI and other visual effects to create a virtual experience.

David Cole, co-founder of NextVR says, The patent-pending technology captures a precise 360-degree environment in unparalleled detail. This puts viewers right in the action, whether that s experiencing a courtside seat at a basketball game or standing stage side at the hottest concert in town. When you put on a headset for the first time, you instantly understand the meaning of seeing is believing.

Because NextVR s system is able to encode data dynamically and can stream it through a 4G LTE network directly to a person s phone, full length movies containing a large amount of uncompressed information can be broadcast without consuming massive amounts of data.

In addition to Samsung and their Gear VR headset, NextVR is working with technology company Oculus and their virtual reality headset as well as other headset and content providers to enable these experiences for consumers as the market expands.
