Online streaming service YouTube is preparing to host a livestream for Google's annual tech event, Google I/O, announcing an address in advance of the May 18 conference start.
The video-sharing site, famously one of Google Inc's business platforms, will allow viewers to watch the Google I/O keynote live and in 360° virtual reality, should they so choose.
The announcement was made by Virtual Reality offshoot Google Cardboard which, as of May 16, has native apps available for not only Google's own mobile operating system Android, but also Apple's iOS.
That app is intended to be used in conjunction with a physical Google Cardboard virtual reality headset, with Google's own-brand, self-assembly model available its specialist online store for $20 (€20).
Google I/O runs May 18-20 at the web, tech and advertising company's Mountain View campus in California. A full program is available to view at the events page, with livestreamed presentations filtered on a separate section.
