RICOH THETA cameras can have plug-ins added. THETAs run Android internally, these plug-ins are Android apps that can be installed to add new features. Examples of plug-ins include live streaming, visual special effects, and a lot more. Plug-ins are most useful when you do not want to pair the THETA with a smartphone. You will need to register in the RICOH THETA developers program and put your camera in developer mode.
