Facebook recently introduced the ability for anyone to upload and view 360 photos and videos, while YouTube is seeing a sharp increase in 360 content. Social Weaver will use a Ricoh Theta S camera, the Cardboard Camera app and Google Cardboard viewers to demonstrate how to shoot, edit, view and share your own immersive 360° content. We will be giving away a few Google Cardboards as well.
