The only alternative is using the iPhone app. Unfortunately, Samsung decided to limit Android support to its own phones you can’t use the camera with an Android phone from any other manufacturer. For viewing the images and more in-depth control (especially for live streaming the preview to set up the scene), you need the corresponding app. With the small OLED screen on the camera and the three buttons, basic camera control is possible without a phone. The specs page lists the full feature overview. At a decent price point, the updated 2017 version offers versatile features, including 15 MP 360° photos and 4K 360° video. Produced by the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, the Samsung Gear 360 is one of the most important 360° cameras currently available. In this article, I will show how to capture a 360° photo using the new Samsung Gear 360 camera (2017 version), then load the photo into a Unity project for Google Daydream / Cardboard to view it in VR on an Android phone (in this case, the Google Pixel 2). As the user is part of a captured real world, the virtual experience is the most life-like possible. Capturing a 360° photo / video and viewing it in VR is one of the most immersive use cases.
