“Japan is on a demographic collision course with an aging population and a declining birth rate. But around the country experiments are under way that may turn the burdens into benefits.”
This post contains a 360 degree video. It’s shot in such a way that the viewer can change point of view to any direction, not just where the camera appears to be pointing when the video begins. (Email subscribers: click here to see the video.)
Place the cursor on the video screen where it will turn into a hand-shaped grabber. Press down and hold the left mouse button as if you were going to scroll down a regular page of text or photos, and move the mouse. Your can change your viewpoint to anywhere in the full 360 degree range of the scene, just as if you were there in person, turning around! You can also look up and down. If you pause the video, you can also look around the still frame in the same way.
360 videos work best if you use Chrome or Opera browsers.
