GEAR 360

Samsung launched yesterday a video camera that "sees" 360 degrees around it. It has a total of 30 megapixel spherical objective F.2 and housing. Gear 360 and can go up images on Google Street View, but the novelty here is that you can produce videos for Facebook Video 360.

This is possible because of Gear VR virtual reality headset from Samsung, based on Oculus technology, owned by Facebook. Samsung yesterday at the presentation of Mark Zuckerberg appeared on stage, giving a speech about 10 minutes about how he sees virtual reality as a product of the future and is proud to be active in the development of VR's. Hall was ecstatic.

Camera looks good and I hope it includes little tripod that I found it. Has a small status display has several modes (looping video, photo, video, time-lapse), you can put the microSD card and is certified IP53 water and dust proof. There is an underwater case available separately.

Presenting itself has made me believe in VR. Yes, you can capture beautiful things clips 360. Think of all videos shot with GoPro from all sorts of stunts and extreme experiences and now think like this if it was filmed in 3D. VR has the potential problem is that people do not want to wear virtual reality helmet on his head to consume such content.
