“We’re thrilled to introduce OZO to the content creation world, and to define a completely new category of virtual reality capture and playback solutions,” Ramzi Haidamus, president of Nokia Technologies, said in a statement. The ball-shaped gadget captures 3D footage for content creation for devices such as the increasingly popular headsets that let users immerse themselves in virtual games. Nokia was the world’s top mobile phone maker between 1998 and 2011 but, after failing to respond to the rapid rise of smartphones, the Finnish company sold its handset unit to Microsoft in 2014.

Since then the company has concentrated on its network infrastructure business. Now Nokia Technologies, the company’s advanced technology and licensing business, is eying a comeback to devices with its new camera.

The shape of things to come? Jaunt VR's high-end virtual reality camera

Now, it's set to debut a new camera aimed squarely at high-end VR production. It's been nearly a year since we first profiled Jaunt VR, a Palo Alto-based company specializing in end-to-end virtual reality cinema workflows and toolsets. Back in August, 2014, we asked the question "will virtual reality change cinematic language? " At the time, Jaunt VR and New Deal Studios were wrapping production on The Mission, a short war film, using one of Jaunt's early VR camera prototypes.

Sous ce nom, se cache en fait une caméra 3D à 360° constituant le compagnon idéal du Gear VR, le casque de réalité virtuelle de la marque. Le but : donner l’impression au porteur du casque qu’il se trouve dans un endroit précis. Samsung croit dur comme fer à la réalité virtuelle. On connaissait déjà le Gear VR, le casque de réalité virtuelle de la marque compatible uniquement avec le Galaxy Note 4 ressemblant comme deux gouttes d’eau à l’Oculus Rift.

Jim Watters - Experiments in 3D Panoramic video. For a stereo image it is necessary to record the same location from two points of view at the same time, similar to the human eye.

Jim Watters - Experiments in 3D Panoramic video

I experimented with two methods of aligning the cameras for capturing panoramic stereo. 1 - Evenly spacing the cameras pointing outward in a circle. Use the left side of each camera for left pano; use the right side of each camera for the right pano. This allows the cameras to be packed as tight as possible to lessen the effects of parallax in the panorama. This type of layout results in many seams, and the seams for the left and right panorama are in different places. 2 - Evenly space pairs of cameras. I used inexpensive Mobius Action Cameras that I purchased off of eBay with the wide angle lens option for about $69 each. The pairs of cameras are mounted vertically to capture the most vertical FoV as possible. Video trends: 4K is here – HDR video, VR and 3D audio is coming.
