London– As BBC World News turns 25, its flagship technology programme, Click launches its first ever 360° programme with never before broadcast views of CERN’s famous Large Hadron Collider on 12 March.

Working with Derren Brown’s trick designer Anthony Owen, viewers will witness the world’s first 360° magic trick and the world’s first 360° game review. They will also explore a remote Swiss glacier to learn about the research technology buried beneath metres of snow, including a unique helicopter trip.

The Click 360° Show is an ambitious and unprecedented project that promises to push the limits of this new mode of storytelling. Filmed using new ‘virtual reality’ cameras which capture immersive 360° footage, the episode places the audience inside the action, making them feel like part of the programme and providing a completely new way of experiencing stories.

This 25 minute special discusses the advantages and the challenges of making 360° content as the team explore this new medium and how it can be used to tell compelling factual stories. They will also demonstrate some of the technologies that can let consumers create their own 360° videos at home.
