In a first, Samsung will live stream Galaxy S7 launch event in 360-degrees

Samsung has announced that the launch event of its upcoming Galaxy S7 flagship smartphone will be presented in 360-degree live streaming, making it the first time when viewers will be able to enjoy a 360-degree view of a Galaxy Unpacked event.

“During Galaxy Unpacked you will get four options for where to watch—from the auditorium, stage left, stage right or from center stage. Pick whichever spot is right for you, then use the 360 live streaming to get a complete view of the event from every angle,” Samsung said in a press release.

Those planning to watch the event from a PC will be able to do so by heading to the Galaxy Unpacked page on the Samsung website when the event begins. On the other hand, the Unpacked 360 View app will let you enjoy the event on your Android or iOS mobile device. However, if you’re planning to watch the event with Gear VR, you need to download the app from the Oculus Store.

Just to remind you, the event begins February 21 at 7:00 p.m….

It gives Samsung an episodic run up to the big reveal ahead of MWC, it dominates the term ‘unboxing video’ to help control the PR message, and it allows a dash of humour to be injected into the campaign.
