Aside from the G5, LG also introduced a couple of accessories
for its flagship phone which it calls “Friends”.
The first member of the G5’s clique is the LG 360 VR, a
head-mounted display that features two 1.88-inch displays with a resolution of
960 x 720 pixels each. The 360 VR requires a connection to an external device
such as a tablet or a smartphone and works with Google Cardboard and YouTube
360 content.
Now, if you’re in the mood to produce content, LG has also
introduced the 360 Cam. The device comes with two spherical cameras with dual
200-deree 13MP sensors that allow the device to capture everything around it.
The camera runs on a 1200mAh battery and supports 2K video
recording, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The content produced on this device can of
course be viewed on the 360 VR or uploaded to YouTube 360 for viewing.
Then there’s the LG Rolling Bot, a spherical companion bot
for the G5 and acts as a home monitoring camera, although it seems LG wants to
market it a device that can take care of your pet.
The Rolling Bot comes with an 8MP camera which can live
stream videos to the internet. The
device can also be controlled remotely through a smartphone. The bot sports an
IR emitter, which means you can command it to take control of other appliances
in your home.
As for the remote pet-nanny part, the Rolling Bot
theoretically does this using a multitude of sensors to interact with your pet.
These include a camera, a microphone and a speaker. The Rolling bot charges via
a USB cable.
