Splash’s virtual reality app aims to make 360-degree videos as easy as Snapchat

The app allows you to quickly share 360-degree videos of your surroundings that can be viewed on both smartphones and VR headsets like Google Cardboard.

What sets it apart ... — you can opt to record a video clip in parts of the 360 frame.  You record the 360 in segments that are then stitched.

The results can vary from impressively immersive to wildly abstract depending on how you shoot (you can overlay multiple clips shot at different times on top of one another, for instance.) But Splash cofounder Michael Ronen says that flexibility — allowing people to create an "emotional landscape" — is the whole point.

Splash won the top prize in the VR category at SXSW's startup accelerator Sunday.
