Support for 360-degree video has arrived on multiple platforms this year, be it mobile or the web, with services like Facebook and YouTube adding support to provide another viewing experience to their users. Apple TV is one platform where 360-degree videos have yet to make an appearance, and now they have. Littlstar today launched an app for the Apple TV which brings 360-degree videos to Apple’s TV platform for the very first time.
It’s about time that the Littlstar app arrived on Apple TV, considering the fact that it’s already available for other platforms, such as the Gear VR as well as Android and iOS.
Littlstar is a one-stop destination for 360-degree videos, the app was launched back in 2014 aided by funding from Disney’s accelerator program. It already hosts quite a bit of 360-degree videos so Apple TV owners won’t be pressed for that kind of content when they get the app.
The app provides access to 360-degree videos from a wide variety of partners which include the Wall Street Journal, National Geographic and Mountain Dew. So there’s everything from car racing to football games available for your viewing pleasure on the Apple TV. It even allows users to submit their own 360-degree videos.
Apple TV doesn’t really have a shortage of entertainment apps but Littlstar will be well received by users, who just yesterday were delighted when VLC finally made its way to Apple’s set-top box.
