Virtual reality camera systems have been gaining popularity in the recent past. However, most of such VR cameras are very expensive and inclined towards professionals. Things are prone to change with the introduction of Vuze from HumanEyes Technologies.
HumanEyes Technologies aims to bring 3D and 360-degree content creation to the masses with its latest VR camera. Vuze is priced at $799 and it has already gone up for pre-order via Vuze official website. The camera is described as a point-and-shoot camcorder, which offers 3D and 2D VR content in real-time in addition to sporting a super easy interface.
Vuze is small enough to fit in most pockets. The disc-shaped device has eight Full HD cameras that simultaneously capture videos, images, and sound. Collectively, the cameras have the ability to generate 4K resolution 360-degree video, which can be viewed on any virtual reality platform, 3D device, headset, or TV.
It is important to note that the new camera gets rid of lengthy and sophisticated post-production activities, according to HumanEyes via PC Magazine. The camera can capture with the touch of a button and process videos in near real-time - one minute of processing for a one-minute video clip.
Priced at $799, Vuze is definitely cheaper than most VR camera systems on the market. For instance, one could part away with Nokia's Ozo for $60,000, GoPro's Odyssey rig for $15,000, and Facebook's Surround 360, which would run a customer a minimum of $25,000 to build.
As if that is not enough, the $799 pre-order bundle comes with the Vuze camera, its software, and some accessories such as VR headset, selfies stick, tripod, and carrying case. With regard to color variants, the system comes in red, black, yellow, and blue. Pre-orders have already started and the manufacturer hopes to commence shipping the device this fall.
Customers have a surety of not paying anything until the device actually ships. The Vuze official website has a list of full technical specs, in addition to a sneak peek at the type of content to be created using the camera.
