About the Gear 360
The Gear 360 camera captures 360-degree videos and photos of you and your surroundings
in one shot. The two fisheye lenses capture lively photos and videos.
When you connect the Gear 360 to your mobile device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, you can capture
videos and photos remotely from your mobile device. You can also view, edit, and share
videos and photos.
If you connect the Gear 360 to a Gear VR, you can view your Gear 360 videos more realistically.
