Samsung already has a way for you to experience VR with its excellent Gear VR headset, now it has a way for you to make your own VR content.
The Gear 360 is a tiny battery-powered camera coming this spring that lets you shoot full 360-degree videos that work in VR headsets. You can also "flatten" the video using the new Galaxy S7 so you can view it in 360-degree video players like the one you see on Facebook.
The Gear 360 beams video to the Galaxy S7 over WiFi, but you can also transfer videos using a standard USB cable or SD memory card. Samsung will have PC software you can use to edit the videos. It also has a standard port for connecting to tripods and other camera accessories.
That's really about it. Nothing earth-shattering to see here, but still a neat concept that shows Samsung is thinking about how to create even more content for the burgeoning platform of VR.
