Even if you're not going to in person, you'll still be able to get a small taste of what it's like to be there thanks to a 360-degree live stream of the day-one keynote.
The stream will take place live on , allowing you to look all around as if you were sitting right in the audience yourself.
VR you ready? Watch the keynote live on 360 this Wed 10AM PT.

If you want to make things even more immersive, you can, of course, slot your phone into a headset to get the full virtual reality experience as well.
As a reminder, Google I/O kicks off at 10 a.m. PT on May 18, and we'll be here with a liveblog and all of the latest news as it unfolds. So be sure to keep it locked to Android Central and, in the meantime, let us know in the comments how you're planning to stream the keynote.
