At the video's 1 minute 12 second mark, the cosmonauts deploy satellite Tanyusha-SWSU 2, which broadcasts greetings in Russian, English, Spanish and Chinese, according to the National Association for Amateur Radio. The nanosatellite and its companion, Tanyusha-SWSU 1, were created by students in the Russian city of Kursk. At the 2 minute 40 second mark, they send the spherical TS530-Zerkalo on its way to measure the density of Earth's atmosphere. This satellite will help scientists predict the motion of objects in low Earth orbit, including the space station. In total, the cosmonauts deployed five satellites that day.

I dont know what I just saw but the title is a little misleading.
Any time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space, it is called a spacewalk. A spacewalk is also called an EVA. EVA stands for extravehicular activity.
360-degree videos, also known as immersive videos or spherical videos, are video recordings where a view in every direction is recorded at the same time, shot using an omnidirectional camera or a collection of cameras. During playback the viewer has control of the viewing direction like a panorama.

If you go full-screen you can zoom in using the wheel of your mouse, also you can click and drag screen :-)

Am I the only one looking at this in a VR headset?
This is in 3D and 360 degrees.
I'm a happy man right now....

I realized but it's just not that amazing to me, in fact it looks more ridiculous with this effect. This spacewalk was supposedly done 2 months back so they could technically do this with any spacewalk or video for that matter.
