"Dubbed Gear 360, according to SamMobile, the accessory will seemingly be a virtual reality camera will let anyone record the kind of 360-degree video experiences that can be then enjoyed on a galaxy phone when combined with a Gear VR headset.

The Gear 360 is a compact spherical camera that can capture 360-degree imagery using two 180-degree fish eye lenses. The camera can connect to a phone via Bluetooth and has a special Gear 360 Connect application. The camera should work with other devices, but the tech site can only confirm Galaxy S7 compatibility for the time being.

Samsung's upcoming Gear 360 has its own battery and packs its own onboard storage, which should come in handy when recording 360 videos. "

If you haven't gotten your hands on Google cardboard, now is a good time to try it. More and more apps are supporting 360deg photos and videos. The New York Times is also publishing these and posted an emotional set that were filmed in Paris after the Paris bombings. They are really a must see. I was also kicking myself for not having taken more of these 360deg pics in Angkor Wat.
