how to make a 360 video stereo for oculus

Hi guys, first of all sorry for my english but i'm from italy so english is not my first lang but i'll do my best; i'm doing my CS bachelor thesis on Oculus, and i would ask you something...

I have to realize a 360 video of Tuscany countryside and a complete 360 degree videos of some buildings, i already have Oculus and i'll buy 2 gopro; unfortunately that's my first time on this topic, so i would like to know, it's possible to make a 360 degree video with gopro and see this on Oculus ? I'm asking because i've seen lots of videos but no one have used just 2 gopro.... :|
If 2 gopro aren't enough should i buy at least 4 gopro?


Anyway, i would like to know, how can i mount/join the videos that i have filmed with my 4 cameras? I mean, in the video that i saw, i have 2 videos on 2 different screen (stereoscopic 3d) but with Oculus it become just one 360 video.
but, if i obtain 4 video files form my 4 gopro, how can i saw a final 360 degree stereo video on oculus?
For example, if i'll use 4 cameras mounted on my head spaced of 90 each one i'll obtain 4 files, each one with a different view; i want see the final 360 degree stereoscopic video on my oculus, what should i do?



Furthermore i would use Vrplayer to see my video with oculus, when and where i have to set parametres like format and layout??

thank you

    Sorry for my delay and thank you all for your hints. Unfortunately i haven't bought my cameras yet, but i can't waste my time so i would work on this project even so.

    i would practice a little with some mp4 samples, i would mount 2 or more videos in one for VR with videostitch and so on.

    do u know where can i find this stuff?

    thanks again
