About the Samsung Gear 360
The Samsung Gear 360 camera captures 360-degree videos and photos of you and your
surroundings in one shoot. You can rotate the perspective of 360-degree videos and images
horizontally and vertically to view them from different angles. The two fish-eye lenses capture
high-quality videos and photos and you can easily edit or share the content. If you use a Gear
VR, you can fully immerse yourself in the 360-degree content.
When you connect the Samsung Gear 360 to your mobile device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct,
you can capture videos and photos remotely from the mobile device. You can also view or
edit the videos and photos on the connected mobile device.
