Twitter has launched yet another brilliant feature for the Periscope streaming application - 360-degree video. With this striking new addition when a user starts the live Periscope video streaming, the followers would be able to change and shift their viewpoints by adjusting or moving around their cell phones, or by tapping the screens to look from a different angle.

According to Billboard, the 360-degree video feature will undoubtedly connect people closer together by allowing them to view a scene from various angles. This new technology is a result of Twitter bringing its Periscope into its core application after the website enabled the followers to go live.
Twitter's 360-degree video feature was released a few days after Facebook's 360 videos made it to the news. This also highlights the increasing trend of live videos on online social media platforms, The Verge reported.
Such live broadcasts are becoming more and more popular, and all the major websites and applications have been in a race to update their features. Facebook's live functionality and Instagram's disappearing live videos are the prime examples of this trend.
Officials at Twitter have announced that a select few people will be allowed to test the feature to assess its feasibility. This feature would be available to the general public in the coming weeks.
