I’ve been a big fan of the cute little Samsung Gear 360 camera since its first unveiling in the spring of 2016, and always recommend it to people inquiring about the best consumer-friendly 360 cameras out there. The cost is lower than the 2016 version with a pricetag of $229 and you can record in up to 4K resolution.

I’d say that through at least 2022, the enterprise will account for the majority of augmented and mixed reality headsets like Hololens and Magic Leap. And we also look at consumer software numbers as a whole. But we don’t do a one-size-fits-all sort of enterprise software number.
