The developments in the virtual reality technology are slowly reaching the next level as several industry players are working towards making the content more interactive and immersive. Today, virtual reality has moved beyond a mere teleportation in virtual space, but also involves interactivity with the object and things.
360-Degree Videos
The concept of 360-degree videos has played a major role in making VR content more interactive and immersive. As we can get from the name itself, 360-degree videos are spherical videos that let user record content in every direction either by using a special collection of cameras or an omnidirectional camera.

Each of these cameras/lenses is arranged in a manner to cover the entire 360-degree view and the resulting recorded content is then stitched to create a single video. This process can take place within the software itself or other special video editing software and tools.
We have previously shared with you the secrets of shooting 360-degree videos. However, VR Porn lovers like me are surely going to hop for more 360 immersive content especially at the times when I want to dominate the Orgy scenes.
So let us have a look at few of the good cameras for recording/streaming 360-degree content.
Vuze VR Camera

The Vuze VR Camera comes with a Go Pro rig-like setup having 8 HD cameras to capture the 360-degree spherical videos. The camera setup is extremely lightweight and is easy-to-carry. With Vuze VR Camera, you can even record high-quality videos with 4K resolution with stereoscopic 3D depth and FOV of 120 x 180.

The interface is quite easy for users to start recording with just one click. Moreover, sharing content to your Laptop/PCs or even to your social media accounts is easy with the company’s own Humaneyes software.
Samsung Gear 360
The Samsung Gear 360 is one of the great choices when it comes to 360-degree content recording. This camera is an excellent choice for beginners and learners as it has got its own automated stitching software for the recorded content. The Gear 360 comes with a microSD card and a removable rechargeable battery. An easy Mode Selector button on the camera comes in handy for choosing between several modes of Settings, Photos, Time Lapse Video Looping and others.

For recording content, just press the recording button on the top of Gear 360. Make sure your Gear 360 is placed on a solid surface or hold it with tripod legs in your hand for a better grip and steady recording. Also, by using the Wi-Fi Direct, you can even record in live video mode through your compatible Galaxy phone screen. From your Galaxy smartphone, you can control the start and stop times of video recording.

Using the Gear 360 app, you can even share your 360-degree content to compatible social media websites like YouTube and Facebook.
ALLie Camera
The ALLie Camera is capable of recording 4k 360-degree videos and comes with a very easy interface by just plugging in the device, launching the ALLie app and soon get started. The camera comes with its own software stitching algorithm for stitching of 360-degree recorded videos and content. Also, ALLie has special integration with YouTube for live-streaming of 360 content.

However, note that capturing videos through its own software requires a wi-fi connection and hence ALLie is more suitable for indoor environments.
Vuze looks interesting because of its sleek design but I wonder what the price is because that would be a deciding factor.

360-degree video viewing is certainly the future of immersive VR content …. However, to make it easy for consumers tech companies need to ensure more easy-to-use and adaptive software for video/photo stitching and things
