Well, depends on the pocket, Jess! That coat I used at CES could fit an iPad Pro in the pocket

The sphere is about the size of a tennis ball. Slightly smaller, I think.

There are definitely convincing use cases for using 360 video. Nature scenes top the list.
Jessica Dolcourt 2/21/2016 6:48:51 PM
The legs of the tripod the Gear 360 comes on collapse in the middle, so you can hold onto it sort of like a handle.

The camera works with Google Street View, Mistry says

"With S7 and S7 Edge at the center, we are truly redefining what a phone can do."
Jessica Dolcourt 2/21/2016 6:49:27 PM
I love the idea of using VR for education as well -- something that's talked about a lot. We're getting there, slowly.
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:49:32 PM
Gear VR demo time again
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:49:42 PM
BRB
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:50:05 PM
Ok we're going somewhere. in Barcelona
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:50:16 PM
I wish I was sitting in a spinny chair right now
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:50:52 PM
Big suprise guest - Mark Zuckerberg
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:50:55 PM
Facebook's CEO
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:50:58 PM
Big get for Samsung
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:51:12 PM
Dear god, it's a running of the media
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:51:20 PM
They're all jumping up to shoot Zuckerburg on the stage. Crazy
Jessica Dolcourt 2/21/2016 6:51:37 PM
(Hold on, we'll get you your Zuck fix momentarily.)
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:51:40 PM
Mark is telling us about how he's always been interested in virtual reality.
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:51:52 PM
Facebook owns Oculus, which has partnered with Samsung on the Gear VR
Jessica Dolcourt 2/21/2016 6:52:09 PM
I feel like we're at a rock concert with all the people running up to the stage to shoot Zuck.
Jessica Dolcourt 2/21/2016 6:52:20 PM
Tech paparazzi!

Dear god, with the pandemonium for people to photograph Zuck, you'd think Brad Pitt showed up.
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:52:48 PM
Do people still care about Brad Pitt? haha
Jessica Dolcourt 2/21/2016 6:52:57 PM
I think all the broadcast media have rushed to the front from the risers in the back. It's actually really detracting from Zuck's message.

Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:53:19 PM
This is doubly funny because at a recent Facebook media party, there was almost no one talking to Zuckerberg
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:53:48 PM
I actually have no idea what he's been saying. I've been too distracted by this press craze
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:54:36 PM
VR is going to be the most social platform, Zuck says
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:54:45 PM
That's pretty interesting considering you're pretty isolated when you have on a headset
Jessica Dolcourt 2/21/2016 6:55:09 PM
I don't think anybody here actually cares what Zuck is saying. (I mean, we do...)
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:55:34 PM
Zuck is saying Samsung is the only one who can do some of the hardware needed for VR
Shara Tibken 2/21/2016 6:55:45 PM
"We also worked with Samsung to make Gear VR affordable."
