See the below tweet from Oculus CTO John Carmack: If you’re wondering why Samsung stopped at near-4k 30fps playback when so many other sphericams have gone for the full show, it actually seems to have more to do with the limitations of the Gear VR than the Gear 360. Fittingly, the camera comes with a cool little mini tripod, that kind of makes it look like EVE from Wall-E when attached to the camera. It’s worth noting that despite its inherently throwable look, the Gear 360 is not an action cam. A representative from Samsung told me the camera is more directly optimized for capturing video while stationary, which makes sense given that the camera only captures video footage at 30 frames per second. Project Beyond was oddly shaped like an actual gear and housed 16 HD cameras which altogether gathered in a gigapixel every second, the Gear 360 conversely is compact and houses just a pair of fisheye F2.0 lenses that can capture near-4K (3840 x 1920) quality video or 30 megapixel photos.

Samsung joins LG and others in announcing at MWC 2016 a new and compact camera that’s capable of filming everything thanks to two lenses. The future will be filmed in 360 degrees. ![]()
