Queen launch Freddie Mercury Bohemian Rhapsody 360 experience video | Music | Entertainment
This week’s episode of Queen the Greatest, the band’s official YouTube series, is a special Freddie Mercury Bohemian Rhapsody 360 VR experience video (see below) that you don’t necessarily need a headset for.
The band announced today: “Whether using a smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop computer or a VR headset, visitors can now explore a wide range of visuals to celebrate Queen’s masterpiece – including an exclusively produced video and a wealth of rare photos.
“The new 360 video is set in a white void reminiscent of the colour of the cover for “Bohemian Rhapsody”s parent album, A Night At The Opera. Inside it, viewers will be able to hear the song accompanied by a brand new video celebrating 50 years of Bohemian Rhapsody, with classic moving images of Queen performing it live. The new 360 experience also includes the song’s original promotional video, on screen lyrics and the single covers from around the world.”
The announcement continued: “To access the 360 degree experience using a laptop or desktop computer, viewers can hold their mouse down and drag the cursor around to look around the white space and see a little silhouetto of a man. On a smartphone, you can turn it sideways to see a landscape ratio filling the screen and then move your phone to look around. Alternatively, if you are using a VR headset or viewer, you just need to place your phone into the viewer to explore the world of Bohemian Rhapsody. As a result, the new Bohemian Rhapsody 360 Experience invites viewers to open your eyes, look up to the skies and see…though if further help needed in accessing it, an instructional video is available.”
