At the Cannes Film Festival, HumanEyes Technologies unveiled the Vuze VR, a consumer-grade 360-degree camera for VR applications. The camera was used to record the recently screened 3D VR short movie Summertime, and is now available to pre-order for $ 799 USD. In addition to capturing 3D stereoscopic content for VR platforms, Vuze VR can record 360 degree 2D video.
Vuze VR is equipped with eight cameras capable of recording full stereophonic audio and 360-degree Full HD video in both 2D and 3D. Each camera is fitted with lenses that capture a 120 degree FOV horizontally and 180 degree FOV vertically. When the videos are stitched together, the resulting video has a 4K resolution.
The camera is small at 12 x 12 x 3cm (4.7 x 4.7 x 1 in.), and features what HumanEyes calls ‘near real time processing,’ with each minute of footage requiring one minute of processing. The camera supports both PCs and Macs, and can be remotely controlled using related iOS and Android apps.
The Vuze VR camera can be pre-ordered now for $ 799 from the product’s website. Shipping to buyers is estimated to start in October 2016.
