It was developed on the Unreal 4 engine and built by our studios team. And what some companies have done is actually flooded a real home and then created 360 video of that home.

But what we proved with those is that you can have this small phone attachment and you can simply and easily capture, edit, and share photos and videos in 360 to social media without ever having to pull out the microSD card from your camera.
