Alcatel's 360 camera is the simplest we've seen

BERLIN — Alongside its standalone VR headset, Alcatel showed us an upcoming 360 camera called (d'oh) the Alcatel 360 Camera.

When you need it, you just plug it into your phone (right now it only works with Alcatel's Idol, Idol 4S or Pop 4S phones, but it will be available for every phone when Alcatel launches a standalone app) via a micro-USB cable, and you're good to go.  Read more...
