360-Degree Videos On Apple TV

The Apple TV Is Getting 360-Degree Videos, Courtesy of the Littlstar App

As 360-degree and VR video continue to grow, services like YouTube and Facebook are tentatively adding support, but actually finding these videos is a fairly rare occurrence. Streaming service Littlstar made the decision to dive in head-first, focusing exclusively on 360-degree video. And now Apple TV owners will be able to view these videos in their living rooms.
The Littlstar app has already been available for iOS and Android, but this marks the first time the service is available on a streaming service. Content is available for free, and comes from brands including Disney, Discovery, National Geographic, and Showtime.
