If you already have VR glasses, then try out this portrait of Germany's most successful breakdancers.

On your computer and your smartphone without VR glasses, you can watch our 360-degree videos as usual: Take a look around – using a computer mouse or panning your smartphone.

And feel free to write us your impressions - in the comments section or via social media. You can find the Facebook channel of the video edit here.

VRideo app for Samsung Gear

How the technology works, with which the "Welt" is the first German editorial office to publish such a video, you will learn in the second 3-D video. Our Head of Video and VR expert Martin Heller explains the background here. Of course, you can also play this video on the computer as a 360-degree video.

If you have Samsung Gear VR glasses, then we recommend the app from "VRIDEO" for the best experience; there you will find us in the "News & Politics" section among the "Top cHannels". Here you can experience all VR projects that the team has published so far. On Youtube you will find our 360° videos collected in a playlist.

No matter which variant you use: You should always choose the highest possible resolution. We produce our 360° videos in 4K - but that refers to the complete all-round image. In the player you can see only a section of it.

With "Vrideo" in the Samsung Gear VR, you can download the movies for free to be able to play them even without a good Internet connection.
