How to Fake Being at a Concert with YouTube’s Instagram-esque Camera App

Want to see some of the biggest names in music at Vivid LIVE at the the Sydney Opera House but don’t want to spring for airline tickets to Australia? YouTube may have the solution for you.

Through its latest technology initiative FRONTROW, an Instagram-esque camera application powered by Google, audiences can zoom in and out to change their view, take photos during the live stream, apply filters, and immediately share on your social networks, including Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. Filters include B&W, Lomo, 1960s, Sunset, Lake, and Forest.

YouTube will live stream select performances of the concert, so you can “share as if you’re there.” Just make sure to turn your location off!
