You can increase the functionality of your RICOH THETA V camera via a new plug-in store that is now available. With free downloads, users can add a wide range of tools to their cameras including automatic image uploads, remote camera control and wireless live streaming.
The RICOH THETA V is a 360-degree camera capable of capturing fully spherical 4K-equivalent video and high-resolution still images. The plug-in store is the first of its kind and expands the capabilities of the camera and initially features downloads from Ricoh, Sony, NTT DOCOMO and more. Because the software is based on the Andoid, a variety of new functions can be added to the RICOH THETA V via plug-ins just like installing apps on a smartphone.
Additional customization options available include Fita, a plug-in suite that enables RICOH THETA V owners to connect to Google Cloud Storage and Automatic Face Blur to enable faces to be blurred for privacy/security reasons.
