The global coronavirus pandemic has overturned our lives, and along with it the fields of sports, entertainment, events, concerts and trade shows, among many other industries impacted.

We’re happy to say our LA workshop is now reopen again (June 2020) and we are working on projects through fall 2021. Our custom hardware division is once again making custom cameras and video workstations for clients around the world.

Live VR obviously provides an ideal solution to bring your audience back into your stadium, venue or location, while leveraging popular VR headsets such as the Oculus Quest, and the live VR streaming capabilities of YouTube and Facebook.

If your fans can’t be there in person, or if audience numbers are constrained, live VR offers an innovative and compelling solution.

It’s been a while since we last shared an update. This summer has been a busy one at 360 Designs HQ.

We’ve been continuing work on our Live VR Truck build over the summer, which is an in-house project to create the ultimate live VR production vehicle. The 360 Designs Live VR production truck is designed for producing major live 360 / VR events, as well as traditional 4K camera events, and can handle 10 live 360 cameras or 10 traditional 4K cameras, or any combination of the two.

The live 360 truck will be used for our tentpole live VR productions for brand name clients, and on a case-by-case basis available for use by other 360 companies, TV stations and production companies.
