New 360fly 4K Camera to Live Stream Immersive 360° Video Content Via Livit Platform, Playback Content Available Online and Through Social Media Channels

The Isle of Man Government today announced a partnership with 360fly, Inc., maker of the category-leading, single-lens camera that captures stitchless 360-degree video, that will bring immersive 360-degree video and mobile virtual reality content from the 2016 Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy to race fans around the world.

As the official 360-degree camera of Isle of Man TT, 360fly will utilize its latest 4K camera technology to live stream 360 content via the Livit platform and distribute playback content through Isle of Man TT’s social media channels.

Fans unable to physically attend the exhilarating event will be able to experience the race like never before – in immersive 4K video and mobile virtual reality. Content from the race paddock, rider pressroom, VIP hospitality and grandstand activation area, as well as on-bike footage from competing riders will be available on YouTube (Isle of Man TT and 360fly) and Facebook (Isle of Man TT and 360fly). Additionally, 360fly will be live streaming from the race paddock and rider pressroom. Fans can download the free Livit Now mobile app on iOS or Android and follow @360fly.

“Isle of Man TT is an incredible event that the vast majority of race fans are unable to attend due to its secluded location,” said Peter Adderton, 360fly CEO. “The ability to not only track rider perspectives, but also pan in 360-degrees across the Island’s breathtaking terrain, will bring an entirely new dimension to how fans experience this unparalleled racing event.”

Virtual reality and immersive video have never been more top of mind, thanks to number of recent announcements by major media companies such as Facebook and YouTube, VR purveyors such as Oculus Rift, and consumer-friendly 360-degree mobile VR cameras such as 360fly. The overall category can be broken down into two distinct areas: professional-grade, 3D VR and consumer-level 360-degree 2D video (aka “mobile virtual reality”).

Specializing in consumer-level 360-degree video, 360fly brings immersive video and mobile VR to the masses with its affordable camera offerings and its intuitive mobile app. 360fly allows users to easily shoot, edit and share 360 video to popular social platforms like Facebook, YouTube and more.

The new 360fly 4K camera will be available in stores and online at the end of May 2016 for $499. The 360fly HD camera is currently available at Best Buy stores in the USA for $399.

VisionBee, a dynamic motorbike research company are conducting some research and development for a famous motorbike manufacturer.

They want riders of motorbikes over 500cc, which were bought from new since 2013, to give their views and opinions on future generation bikes and accessories. 

This will be held in Watford on 17th May, from 8pm for around 2 hours. Those who qualify and take part will be paid £100 for their time, which includes travel expenses.

If you fancy being part of this, contact Simon on [email protected] letting him know which model you own, when you bought it, your name, your age along with your telephone contact details.

If you cannot make this date, do not worry as there are another few projects coming up over the year, so you can still get in touch. 

The event has been blighted for the past few years with dreadful weather and chilly temperatures, however this year that was all a distant memory, where the sun shined, the temperatures soared and the only thing in the sky that caused any concerns was the Spitfire from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight fleet that flew overhead and dipped its wings to salute to 25 years of the NABD!

We arrived to be greeted by the lovely marshals, before we headed to the main area to park up. Nice wide pathways lead to very organised camping fields where motorbikes, trikes, cars, campers and tents all pitched side-by-side, proving that they can all live in harmony.

As ever the comedians were painfully funny, with Rob Mulholland being truly amazed certain jokes were being appreciated more than ever, the most humble John Porter playing to the largest crowd he had ever played to (more of that we think John) and the most animated Rick Hulse telling hilarious stories of his barmy friends who hold things up with a brick in a frozen fish fingers box...

So as the volunteers, committee, attendees, bands, dj's and comedians, recover from this much-loved event, filled with laughs, excellent bands, barrels of ale, lashings of beer and cider, where friends met up, people met facebook friends in the flesh and where new friendships were made, we would like to say a great big well done to everyone involved in the organising of this outstanding event and for those who give your time to support the wonderful cause that is the NABD.
