As virtual reality started becoming more and more popular, developers adapted to this, releasing VR-focused apps and – generally speaking – content very often. However, some users wanted to take it to the next level and see if they can <\/span>enjoy their own creations in an immersive way<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to creating VR images and videos, there\u2019s a no-brainer option, which doesn\u2019t require that much technical knowledge, since most models are actually very easy to operate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, we\u2019re talking about virtual reality cameras, which are nowadays available at any respectable retailer, for decent prices, we\u2019d say, considering what they are able to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such devices can take spherical photos or videos, by <\/span>recording every angle of the scene at the same time<\/b>. Usually, it comes as a standalone camera, with multiple embedded lenses, which cover multiple fields of view, then stitch everything together and voila, you have your own 360 images or videos, which you can explore with a virtual reality headset.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, there are professional models – monoscopic cameras, that is – able to shoot 360 videos at higher resolutions, like the monstrous <\/span>GoPro Odyssey<\/span><\/a>, which can capture 8K30 video!<\/span><\/p>\n
