In Japan, it is said that this year is the first year of the panorama moving picture,for smartphone is popularized and the line-up of output device like the various headmount is enlarged and also the circumstance of the internet infrastructure is improved.
We intend to make the various trial corresponding to such a new movement. How is the trend .now in Europe?

Mr. Sergey Semenov

Many are experimenting panorama technologies and there are some interesting development. However,we still have to solve various issues to improve panorama experience. Current issues include, slow internet speed, lack of panorama contents as well as interesting plans. Some tried Ladybug and Yellowbird for Sochi, but there should be improvement in video quality.

Nevertheless, many panorama enthusiasts are working hard to solve these issues. In Russia there will be 360 TV, which is dedicated to panorama contents.I hope that we will have continuous growth in the panorama market.
