- 360 degree content can be used in many formats. Mobile devices have gyroscopes that allow users to physically move their phones, tilt, turn and spin, to see a full 360 degrees within a photo or video that was captured with a specialized 360 degree camera.

- VR googles, whether Google cardboard or something a little more substantial such as Samsung’s VR headset, allows for a fully immersive 360 degree experience.

Here are two cameras that I would recommend to get started and both are around $300.
Samsung Gear VR.
The Gear VR is the camera I use most to create 360 degree content. The camera works best with a thin tripod. It’s small and easy to use.
Ricoh Theta S
THe Ricoh Theta S is a great portable camera that is easy to use, hold and has all the features you’ll need ot create great immersive 360 degree content.
