AMD has joined with The Associated Press (AP) to form a new virtual reality channel to enable Virtual Reality journalism. AP will leverage AMD technology to render several future VR environments for news and documentaries. A new AP virtual reality channel, powered by AMD Radeon graphics processors, will feature AP’s latest VR and 360 journalism. AP said that its editors will retain complete control over the editorial content presented via the virtual reality channel.

As part of the collaboration between the companies, AP will leverage AMD Radeon graphics technology to render VR environments built around news and documentary content, and AMD will provide the hardware platforms, software technology (AMD LiquidVR) and VR expertise to support AP's journalism in VR and 360 video.
