The world of 360 degree photography isn’t new. Since the invention of digital camera - there have been many ways to stitch together a dozen photos to create a beautiful panorama. As camera lenses got smaller and well-made glass cheaper - wide angle lenses became sharper. An all-in-one 360 camera became possible. One camera with two 180 degree lenses on each side to give it 360 degrees of visibility. Each lens is actually a little more than 180 to give the stitching software editing wiggle room when stitching both photos from two lenses. This is a good starting point to introduce you to 360 video because you need to grasp how the camera sees and captures all around its lens’s center.
