Samsung’s Project Beyond 360-degree camera made its first appearance in November of 2014 at the company’s developer conference. This was following the announcement of Gear VR, but still a month prior to the release of the original “Innovator Edition.” The camera was designed stream or record 360-degree 3D footage that could then be viewed by someone with Gear VR.
SamMobile says the device is called the Gear 360 and is "likely" based on Project Beyond. The Gear 360 will be a "compact spherical camera capable of capturing 360-degree imagery using two 180-degree fisheye lenses," says SamMobile, and will reportedly pair with smartphones via Bluetooth. It will come with an internal battery and storage, and offer a maximum resolution of 3840 x 1920 as well as a range of shooting modes. Users will be able to to stream live footage from the Gear 360 to a connected smartphone, although whether or not the camera can stream to the Gear VR itself is unknown.
