ANKARA

Anadolu Agency's dazzling new 360-degree panoramic videos are drawing legions of awe-struck eyes.

Anadolu Agency used this ground-breaking technology to film ceremonies in the capital Ankara marking April 23, Turkey’s National Sovereignty and Children's Day, taking place at Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the Republic of Turkey’s founder and first president.

360-degree videos of hot-air balloons floating above the picturesque landscapes of central Anatolia’s Cappadocia region as well as the death-defying stunts of the Air Force’s Turkish Stars' aerobatic team are also attracting great interest.


Anadolu Agency subscribers were also able to feast their eyes on 360-degree camera views of the Ankara exhibit of the Istanbul Photo Awards 2016 international news photo competition.

All the angles of a video shot using a 360-degree camera can be seen by rotating your mouse or using the keyboard's arrow keys.

Additionally, the videos can be seen via smart phones or other smart mobile devices via the YouTube app.

Footage from the 360-degree cameras can currently only be played on devices having Chrome operating systems or iOS and Android mobile operating systems.
