#SpecialDelivery: Google Spotlight Stories come to YouTube with interactive 360-degree storytelling

-
A humble caretaker is surprised when a mysterious stranger causes mischief on the roof. He investigates, but can�t seem to catch even a glimpse of the troublemaker. And so the chase goes... room to room� up and down� The stranger remains just out of sight, leaving behind only a trail of gifts�

Meanwhile, you�re following the action at your own pace, from whatever angle you please�behind you, to your left, to your right, or in front of you. All on your mobile phone.

Today we�re bringing Google Spotlight Stories to YouTube with �Special Delivery,� an original short film made by Academy Award-winning animation studio Aardman Animations (Wallace and Gromit fans, take note), viewable on the YouTube app on many Android devices.
�Special Delivery� is the latest of several Spotlight Stories to come out of Google ATAP (our Advanced Technology and Projects group). With Google Spotlight Stories, your phone becomes a window to a story happening all around you. The sensors on your phone allow the story to be interactive, so when you move your phone to various scenes, you unlock mini-stories within the story.

We didn�t want anyone to miss Aardman�s �Pink Panther�-style holiday caper! So we also made a YouTube 360 version for other Android devices, iOS devices, and the web. You can find both versions of �Special Delivery� on the Spotlight Stories YouTube channel, and you can also watch with Google Cardboard. Next year, we�ll bring Google Spotlight Stories to more Android devices and the YouTube iOS app.

You�ll want to watch �Special Delivery� a few times to find all the surprises within the story. In the full interactive experience, you�ll encounter 10 subplots, three potential ways to view the ending, and 60+ moments where you can decide to follow the story in different ways. Each viewing is unique. We don�t want to spoil the ending, so that�s all we�ll say for now�

The 2016 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) begins today, and we�re thrilled to join the 15,000 women and allies convening in Houston for three days of learning, inspiration and community building. Thousands of women at Google are building tools and products that organize the world�s information, help businesses get online and prosper, and forge connections across a growing digital community of 3.5 billion people. So it only makes sense that Google would be part of the world's largest gathering of women technologists. We see GHC as a critical way to connect women in tech and help clear hurdles to their professional development. We know that there�s much more work to do to help level the playing field � and that�s why the mission of the Grace Hopper Celebration is so important. Just yesterday we reported new U.S. research from Gallup and Google that suggests girls are less likely than boys to be told by parents and teachers that they would be good at computer scien...
