How do you make an app that doesn’t necessitate having a Google Cardboard all the time, but still shows off the 360-degree content? Will small VR viewers like Google Cardboard become ubiquitous? However, supporting 360-degree comes with a new set of challenges for both app makers and consumers. Last week, Facebook began rolling out 360-degree content in the Facebook Newsfeed. It seems like sharing 360-degree content is the corollary of the way we already share our experiences visually everywhere we go in the form of Instagrams, Snapchats, Youtube videos, and Facebook mobile uploads. It’s easy to slide on and off your phone and meshes perfectly with the iPhone’s cameras. The founders of Shot prototyped the attachment, comprised of two lenses, for months to arrive at the current solution. Shot co-founders Jorge Lería and William Viana The Shot duo-William Viana and Jorge Lería-based out of Madrid, Spain, told us they saw these problems and wanted to allow more people to afford to shoot VR-grade content in an easier manner. An example of a small 360-degree camera that is easy to use is the Ricoh Theta, but it can run you about $350. Many 360-degree camera solutions require multiple cameras and are costly, moreover, after capturing the pictures or videos you might even need to stitch the content together yourself. in Yosemite where your surroundings tower over you), sporting events, and outdoors occasions. Or even for just catching someone doing something funny surreptitiously. My friends and I immediately thought it would be awesome for hiking trips (i.e. Imagine having the ability to capture 360-degree photos and nearly 360-videos (235 degrees) with something you already carry around everywhere.
