As famous as the game itself, the Super Bowl Halftime Show is a musical institution. Every year incredibly elaborate sets are rolled out for the world’s biggest artists to grace with 12 minutes of epic showmanship.
This year, organizers wanted to create the most immersive halftime show ever, by providing a 360-degree VR experience for fans to enjoy on their mobile devices. Their camera of choice for this unique endeavor? Insta360 Pro 2.
VR Live Streaming the Super Bowl Halftime Show
Here’s how it went down. Insta360 Pro 2 cameras were positioned all over the stage, with the footage streamed live via the Verizon 5G network to the free Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show app.

Within the app, fans were able to create their own personal experience of the show, choosing from any of the cameras, and panning around within each 360-degree view. Viewers could experience the performance as if they were on stage or in the stadium itself, enjoying a level of access never seen before.

i love this tech, been thinking about it with my sister for the last one year didn’t know it was already available,
we want to use it and make business out of it
Is there a way to watch this performance now? Is there a recording of the performance in VR? I would love to experience this in VR but I had no idea it would be streamed in 360 when it happened. Did I miss my chance to see this in VR forever?
