Yes, Softonic is currently completely obsessed with Virtual Reality<\/strong>. This week though we are going to have a slightly different look at this increasingly popular trend, with five apps that can help you make your own images and videos to enjoy in VR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

FullDive Camera (Android<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

A fairly straight forward camera app, FullDive Camera allows you to take pictures with your mobile\u2019s single camera that can then be experienced in VR. The results don\u2019t actually offer a 360 degree perspective, but it all looks pretty convincing<\/strong> when viewed from a headset.<\/p>\n

Cardboard Camera (Android<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

The next pick probably won\u2019t be a huge surprise, Google’s Cardboard Camera. With this 360 camera you can easily record images and video from all around you<\/strong>, plus you can include audio to really compete the immersive experience. Just don\u2019t look up or down when viewing the results \u2013 there is nothing there.<\/p>\n

Google Street View (iOS<\/a>|Android<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Yup, its Google again with another great 360 image capture app. This one is integrated into Street View and lets you upload your images directly to the service<\/strong>, allowing others enjoy them with or without a VR headset. This was once a separate app called Photo Sphere, but its integration\u00a0with Street View makes it even easier to use.<\/p>\n

Video Stitch (Windows<\/a>|Mac<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Making professional-quality 360 degree video for Virtual Reality demands some pretty dramatic post-production to synchronize all your different footage, which is not easy. To help, you can try out Video Stitch, which automatically calibrates, stabilizes, and enhances images<\/strong> for VR viewing. If that doesn\u2019t work for you, Autopano Video<\/a> is a great alternative.<\/p>\n

360cam (iOS<\/a>|Android<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Beside the post production, one of the big challenges in VR video production is hiding yourself \u2013 and where relevant your crew – from the shot if you are using a normal camera. Which is where the Samsung Gear 360 and the 360cam<\/a> come in. These record everything around them with no need for any other equipment<\/strong> \u2013 providing you can afford them. You can watch the results of 360cam by downloading the app.<\/p>\n

It is true that making your own photos and videos for VR may not be as instantly entertaining as playing a game \u2013 but it is incredibly rewarding<\/strong>, so we recommend giving it a go.<\/p>\n
