Will you be at NAB? Do you want to learn about 360° or VR video? Look no further than the Vimeo 360 zone.
We expect the theme of this year's National Association of Broadcasters event in Vegas to be 360° video and VR. Vimeo has been taking an aggressive stance on the space, with its release of Vimeo 360 last month. On the floor in Vegas, Vimeo is trying to stay cutting edge by offering a slew of courses, panels and talks at their booth this year. If you're at NAB this year and you have even a burgeoning interest in 360° video and OTT (Over the Top) content, this is the place to be.
