Adoption of 8K and 12K 360° VR Videos
Even though High-end VR headsets have been available for more than a year, we still face many problems with virtual reality experience. One of the biggest problem is the poor video quality.

Because of this quality issue, most publishers recommend that users download to watch the VR videos smoothly.
