Abstract
This chapter presents a discussion on how the use of 360o cameras could be used for ethnographic work. Suggesting three ways, as visual notes, to share fieldwork experiences and to sense the researcher emplacement in the field, the text presents some preliminary notes on 360o cameras as a research technology.
