In what is being heralded as the "first ever interactive music video" Canadian rapper Aspektz and his label are presenting as a unique marketing tool - an interactive music video that allows viewers to direct the entire music video using technology that enables one to control where the camera moves. This interactive technology is created by a 360-degree lens and is part of the AP360 campaign.

This  campaign is reportedly the first ever interactive series of music videos to be unveiled by and financed by Virgin CEO Richard Branson (pictured here with the Toronto rapper). The goal of this the Triple A interactive video style is to capitalize on short attention span, tech savvy, digital age music fans who might be drawn in by the opportunity to play (and replay - hence get hooked on the music) the video as they "direct" it from all the different camera angles available. According to his rep Aspektz will be unleashing 360-degree viral videos as selected by the fans via  Twitter, his Facebook fan page and email feedback.

thanks HIland - that;s why I was sure to include the "first ever interactive video" in quotes since that was their claim. I had a feeling someoen else might have done such a thing before - and looked to find another online but didnt - so thnaks for the Devo link - Guess they should switch claim to "first interactive hip-hop music video" :)
