The 2014 final of what has been touted by football fans and media alike as the greatest World Cup of all time, has been filmed using a pioneering 360° Ultra HD viewing experience to debut in FIFA’s recently approved World Football Museum, opening in 2016.

The final for the 2014 World Cup – which saw Germany triumph over Argentina with a 1-0 extra time victory – will be relayed in a 360 degree viewing experience with an Ultra HD OmniCam developed by scientists.

The equipment used a panoramic shooting technique meaning the game will be able to be watched on the 360° or 180° screens of future panoramic cinemas, as if the viewer is sitting in the stadium watching the match in person.

FIFA gained approval to begin construction on the US$200m (€146.8m, £116.8m) museum – to be housed in downtown Zurich, Switzerland – which will embody all facets of the footballing world and is due to open in early 2016. Fifa has a 40-year lease on the downtown site, which is owned by the Swiss Life insurance company.

In addition to an exhibition space highlighted by a collection of trophies and shirts from years of historical football events, the upper storeys of the museum will house offices for 136 workstations as well as 34 apartments. The museum will include a hall of fame, 3D displays and interactive games.
