Nokia announced its 360-degree VR camera late last month, and now they’re adding one more vital feature: The ability to broadcast live virtual reality footage. Nokia is adding the new option to broadcast 360-degree video and it will even feature [spatial audio](<http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/12/8021733/3d-audio-3dio-binaural-immersive-vr-sound-times-square-new-york>).

But don’t get too excited. It’s not as simple as picking up a new GoPro camera. The Ozo will set you back a cool $60,000—making it almost exclusively available to broadcasters and professional streaming providers.

All that said, you can get your hands on the [Ozo Creator tool](<https://ozo.nokia.com/ozo_en/nokia-ozo-applications/>), which will be available for free this month. The tool features VR stitching, making it much easier to make seamless 360-degree videos.

Nokia is also releasing a VR player developer kit this spring, which lets developers add VR playback to their apps. With VR hitting the mainstream by storm, Nokia is taking a big step towards a world of widespread live VR.
