RICOH is not only providing the camera (the hardware) but is also providing an environment for developers to spread new value, brought about by our 360° camera, to everyone in the world. We have released the API and SDK for WebAPI with all RICOH THETA cameras, and provided a development source to remotely control RICOH THETA from a digital device, including smartphone, PC, Mac and single board computer. From RICOH THETA V, to meet various needs, we start using Android™ based operating system to make it possible to develop control function even on the RICOH THETA itself.
Plugins are applications that control functions on the RICOH THETA camera.
Incorporating this into RICOH THETA means that you can use plugins when you have a function you want to use before shooting, such as a self-timer.
When you want to develop a function that does not depend on the local environment
When you want to install a function while there are network restrictions
Development of specialized function, which you don’t expect the manufacturer to support
When you want to reduce system equipment wherever possible
Supported model: THETA V, THETA Z1, THETA X
The following are restricted for “RICOH THETA Z1 51GB”, “RICOH THETA X” sold in Japan.
