On the specs front, the spherical camera comes with a dual fish-eye lens with 15-megapixel image sensors that have the ability to capture high-resolution 360-degree videos of 3840x1920 pixels as well as still images of 30-megapixel. The camera even supports clicking on 180-degrees wide angle video and images from one side of the camera lens. The presence of Bright Lens F2.0 makes company claim that the device can create high-resolution images in low-light condition and even allow users to create full panoramic videos. For optimum operation, the Gear 360 camera requires a dedicated mobile app which can be downloaded from both the Galaxy Apps store, or from Google Play Store.

Not just the camera, the company has also launched a new program by the name of Creators program whose sole motive is to offer seminars and classes to all the budding film-makers about VR and to woo more and more video makers into the concept of VR, the company also introduced a separate competition. As far as purchasing of the Gear 360 camera is concerned, all those who attended VidCon can purchase it at the event while others would have to wait since global release of the camera is due scheduled sometime later this year and for now, it is sold in limited quantity only.
