Samsung's Gear 360 VR camera goes on sale Friday -- in Korea and Singapore
Samsung’s Gear 360 camera for creating virtual reality content will go on sale online on Friday, the company announced Wednesday.
The Gear 360 will initially be available only in South Korea and Singapore, a company representative said. A U.S. shipping date hasn't been announced. In Korea, it will cost 399,000 won (US$347).
The camera, a bit larger than a golf ball, is Samsung’s bid to get consumers involved in creating virtual-reality content instead of just consuming it.
“We think 2016 is shaping up to be the year of VR,” said Andrew Dickerson, director of software engineering for Samsung VR, in a keynote presentation at the Samsung Developer Conference in San Francisco.
