Building an Image Gallery System for the Gear VR

"Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality."
- His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Virtual reality is more than just creating new environments; it can also be used to share real-world experiences with others. Using an array of VR imaging techniques, you can watch a New Orleans street parade, swim with sea turtles in the Great Barrier Reef, ride in a Humvee embedded on Falluja's front lines, or survey the city of Paris from a vantage point high above the Eiffel Tower. With these ideas in mind, our next project will be to build an immersive 360° gallery.

With this project, we will introduce the following concepts:

• User interaction in VR
• Equirectangular images
• The Samsung Gear VR workflow process:
