HumanEyes Technology has announced the Vuze XR camera, a product the company describes as a ‘dual camera’ since it can be used for two distinctly different applications.
The Vuze XR captures standard 360° spherical video in 5.7K resolution. Like the Rylo Camera or the GoPro Fusion, it appears to provide editing tools that will allow users to create 16:9 videos from the 360° footage or zoom out to a ‘tiny planet’ view, allowing for a lot of creative choices to be made after video is recorded.
By flipping both of its cameras outward, the Vuze XR transforms into a camera that captures 180° stereoscopic video similar to the Lucid VR or Yi Horizon VR180 camera, providing an immersive 3D experience to viewers when used with VR goggles.
While the Vuze XR doesn’t appear to break significant ground in either area, it presents an interesting option for 360°/VR content creators. Instead of having to purchase and carry two separate cameras, each of which may require different software and workflows, the Vuze XR promises to wrap both capabilities into a single camera.
Additionally, the camera will support live streaming to social media, which may make it an attractive choice for activities such as travel where you want to keep things light but retain the flexibility to share your adventure in different ways.
HumanEyes did not provide a specific release date, but says the Vuze XR will be available in the coming months at a price in the ‘$ 400 range’.
HUMANEYES TECHNOLOGIES DEBUTS THE VUZE XR DUAL CAMERA, GIVING ANYONE THE POWER TO CREATE AND SHARE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES IN 360° (2D) OR VR180 (3D)
With the touch of a button, the Vuze XR transforms from a 360° camera to a VR180 camera, enabling content creators to spontaneously tell any story, from every angle.
NEW YORK CITY, July 19, 2018 – Consumers and prosumers alike will be able to capture and share engaging content, life’s adventures and memorable moments in stunning 360° (2D) or stereoscopic VR180 (3D), all from one innovative device.
HumanEyes Technologies today announced its upcoming Vuze XR Camera, designed to capture, create and share both high-resolution photos and full motion video, in either 5.7K 360° or VR180 formats.
Available in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Vuze XR Camera will transform storytelling by providing the visual dynamics of a full 360° camera, and with a single click, convert to an immersive VR180 format. The unique dual-camera design is portable, simple-to-use and seamlessly combines two advanced capture systems into one pocketable device, giving content creators, social media enthusiasts, world travelers, adventure seekers, families and creators of all types the power and convenience to record or share live to mobile phones, computers and VR headsets alike.
The Vuze XR Camera allows users to:
- Capture and share full 360° or immersive VR180 video or photos.
- “Click” between standard 360° mode (when the camera is closed) and 3D VR180 mode (when the camera is open).
- Enjoy industry leading, high-resolution, 5.7K video.
- Live stream to popular social media channels.
“The Vuze XR Camera is a must have for anyone with a story or special moment to share, from consumers to prosumers. With powerful 360° and VR180 5.7K camera technology built in, along with instant sharing and a live streaming mode, anyone can enjoy the freedom of shooting their story, the way they want,” said Shahar Bin-Nun, CEO of HumanEyes Technologies. “One camera can now live stream in 360° from a concert, take immersive VR180 pictures of the band, and record your friends singing along to edit and share the full experience later. We’re giving users the freedom to spontaneously shoot content from all angles, or only a few, and we can’t wait to see what’s created with it.”
The Vuze XR Camera is the latest innovation from the company’s award-winning VR camera line, which includes the Vuze and Vuze+ VR cameras, the first cost effective 3D-360° VR camera solutions has made content creation accessible to anyone.
The Vuze XR Camera will be available for purchase in the $ 400 price range. Additional camera details, specifications and pricing will be available in the coming months. To see the Vuze XR Camera in action and register to be the first to hear more, visit VuzeXR.com.
