Leading 360-degree camera maker Insta360 has announced on July 13 a new partnership with famous blogger and tech expert Robert Scoble. He will act as company’s strategic consultant.

Insta360 created the world’s most advanced 360-degree cameras. As they are very light, it is possible to use them for tourism, real estate, journalism, events and conferences. Insta360 pushes the use of virtual-reality through out the world to empower people to freely share experiences with simple, versatile 360 cameras.

Scoble had first worked with Microsoft during the early 2000’s as public-relations ace. As a tech lover he was also fascinated by VR, mixed reality and immersive media and therefore partner at the mixed-reality focused consultancy firm Transformation Group. His field of expertise was to understand how virtual and mixed reality will change the way people live work and communicate.

“I’ve been a fan of Insta360 since their first cameras, and I’m thrilled to join them as they continue to grow,” said Scoble. “They move faster than any other hardware company I know, and their products hit an amazing balance between innovative tech and simple, accessible design. I see them becoming a major driver of 360 camera adoption and the broader shift to immersive media.”
