Luckily there are several of these VR cameras on the market right now and theyre cheaper than. Because each pixel has depth, 3D effects can be added to live action footage, as can be seen in the example below.īoth the x24 and 圆 are expected to ship later this year and we will keep you updated on more details as we get them. ALLie Camera: If you have ALLie then you will definitely be able to enjoy peace of mind with your 360 degree recording needs. 360 degree videos are all the rage right now on Facebook. One of the best parts of shooting in six degrees of freedom is that you can now add 3D visual effects. Move your head forward and the camera is smart enough to reconstruct what the view looks like from different angles. Allowing you to move your head in a position where the camera never was. But thanks to the pixel overlap with the camera, you can get a very detailed per pixel depth map of every part of the scene. One of challenges with 360 video is that when you’re in headset, if you want to move left or move right with your head, the scene is still locked around you, wherever that camera happened to be placed. That’s right, 6DOF tech in Facebook’s camera. The x24 specifically can capture 8k-quality footage and has six degrees of freedom (6DOF). But if Facebook wants to make 360 video go mainstream (and theres every indication it does), it could do worse than follow Giroptics lead and tackle the camera problem. When it comes to upgrades, both cameras are not just cleaned up versions of last year’s prototype. The 圆 prototype was entirely build in-house. The x24 was made in partnership with FLIR, a company known for its thermal imaging cameras. Instead the x24 and 圆 camera designs will be licensed to a select group of commercial partners.

Both cameras take on the shape of a ball instead of a flying saucer and are designed for professional content creators.įacebook doesn’t plan on selling these latest additions to the Surround 360 family. The x24 is named after the fact it has a 24 camera array-just like the 圆 has six cameras.
#Camera 360 facebook upgrade#
During the annual F8 developer’s conference, Facebook announced the x24 and 圆 camera models as an upgrade to last year’s design.
Now Facebook is announcing the second generation of its Surround 360 design-and this time there’s two cameras. The flying saucer shaped camera never actually went on sale, but instead was used as a reference design for others to create their own version. Just over one year ago, Facebook unveiled their $30k Surround 360 camera that could capture footage in 3D and render it all out through the company’s software.
The camera brings multiple perspectives to live videos.
