I was right in there when Samsung released the Gear360 camera a few years ago and also bought a Galaxy (to control the camera) and headset (to view the galaxy in VR).
Was really into it, did a few projects for work with 360 VR but then yeah, the world didnt really embrace the wow factor of it.
I did sell the camera and buy the Version 2.
It's great for taking on holidays and getting 360 shots to really capture a scene or even a video too.
I'd only view on my headset but its a pain to show other people as they can only view one at a time and they also have to get to grips with the navigation etc.
I think that's the same for mass events too. Putting on a headset on at an event means that you are isolated from the sales person for example who has to stand about like a tit (while you stand about like a tit) to wait till you've finished watching.Where the technology did shine for me was when we were hunting for a new house. You'd walk around a house taking one snap above your head in the middle of each room then when you got home or days later you could still 'look around' the place.
We were looking for somewhere to do up so needed reminding on the state of things or what fireplaces there were, where doors were etc. was VERY handy!YouTube and Facebook now support 360 live streams. I'm really surprised this hasn't taken off and hit mainstream as im sure people are intersted in what's behind the scenes when people are filming. I'm sure folk, for example, would love to explore around Casey Neistat's (or however you spell it) studio while he vlogs or wwhen he is skating around New York.
That's the great thing about filming 360VR lol, there's nowhere to hide. You literally have to hide behind stuff after you've hit record if you dont want to be in the shot.
would love to watch like chat shows in 360 vr so you can turn away from the stage and watch audience or the crew filming.- 360 VR is the next 3D TV or google glass — a gimmick that doesn't catch on because its usefulness is very limited.shaft
