So you want to create your own 360-degree content? Here's a look at shooting, editing, sharing, and viewing 360-degree content with the Ricoh Theta S camera.
This is part 3 of a great guide, it provides some valuable insight, and it covers the complete pipeline for 360 video creation with the Theta. Many tips even go beyond this particular hardware.
I only wished the author had payed more attention to little details. I was looking for info on how the hardware gets connected. And from what I understand, the author mixed up microSD with micro-USB in explaining how photos and videos could be transferred to the PC (see part 1 of the guide).
And the advice to connect the HDMI port to a PC for live streaming might explain why he/she had so little success. Probably none of the HDMI ports on consumer mainboards and graphics cards (laptops included) support INPUT. You usually need a special video capturing card. To my knowledge, and according to what the official theta online manual says, in most cases this can only work with USB. See the "Caution" box further down on this page:
