How can I create 360° Videos?

Question

First I don't want make an animation. I just want to understand how I can make a Scene and wander around in it with 360°.

I mean this as an example.

um... parent the camera to an empty, and animate the empty to rotate 360°? — X-27 is done with the network, Mar 03 '16 at 14:10
X-27 gave you the answer, just don't animate it. I think X-27 should officially write the answer, so you can give the credit where it is due, but until that happens, do these basic steps: Shift+S >> Cursor to Center, Shift+A >> Empty >> Plain Axis, Select the Camera, Shift + Select The Empty, Ctrl + P >> Object, Hit A to deselect All, Select The Empty, Hit Numpad 0, Hit R, Hit Z, Then move your mouse. — Rick Riggs, Mar 03 '16 at 15:53
@poor and Jerryno, Polosson, ARadish & ,stacker, I think, he asked something different than in the question you marked as a duplicate - have you had a look at his example video? — Samoth, Mar 03 '16 at 20:09
@Samoth Let's wait for the OP - consider that your edit is not confirmed yet. In general more effort would be nice, then I will vote to reopen with pleasure ;) — p2or, Mar 04 '16 at 06:47

In blender cycles, change your camera settings to these

Then render and use KolorEyes to run your 360 video: http://www.kolor.com/kolor-eyes/

Hope this helped.

There is a great App VRAIS which uses Blender and they provide a tutorial of how to render stereoscopic panoramas for this App:

Render dimension: 2048x1024 for starters, and for final rendering 4096x2048 (just type in 200% in the render percentage).

In the Render Layers Panel, enable "Views"

Set your camera to Panoramic. Choose "Equirectangular" from the dropdown menu

Enable "spherical stereo" (Only available in Dalai's version)

set the pivot point to „Center“

Or you could watch some not so static 360° Videos on YouTube. Pedro Gaspar made a tutorial of how to create them in Blender. Blenderrendersky already created some videos in the BGE with this method.
