The newest RICOH THETA - the SC2 - is programmable and extremely useful for building business solutions in industries like real estate, construction, automotive sales, virtual tours/virtual training, and lots more.
theta360.guide has built a series of video tutorials walking you through the process of using the API to send simple commands to the camera, avoiding common problems - some unique to the SC2 - and building up to creating a mobile app.
Thanks to @kaiyote and @codetricity and multiple other community members for their collective efforts to solve problems and share widely!
In addition to these introductory videos, there is more content on the SC2 developer site:
- 7 tutorial videos that provide a step-by-step introduction to the RICOH THETA SC2 API
- 3 GitHub repos
- 25 page written guide

Why is Registration Required?
Although .guide is an independent site, we receive sponsorship from RICOH. In order to justify the value of this site to our sponsor, we report back to RICOH on popularity metrics for different types of content. .guide does not sell anything and there are no paid ads or endorsements on our sites. We succeed if the content we provide is of use to people.
The public API documentation on the RICOH site does not cover the SC2. We are slowly collecting tests from the community and augmenting community tests with our own tests. The process takes time. There are still many gaps in the API tests and it will take more time to solve these problems. Registration helps us verify the value of our work with the community. Thank you.
If you ever find information on this site that is useful, please let us know or let someone at RICOH know. The effort by you will help all of us to continue the exchange of community content.
