360Fly: camera capable of recording in 360 degrees

Os 360 degree videos are taking their first steps, but the interest and buzz generated by the idea is enormous. The ability to interact with videos from different angles should become popular within a few years; seeing this potential, the camera 360Fly is looking at the possibility of becoming the GoPro of videos in 360 degrees.

Currently, several cameras are used and videos are emerging in editing, but the 360fly is capable of recording all angles in just one take. The images generated by the gadget can be enjoyed on any smartphone, using Google Cardboard to create more immersion.

A 360fly It's a little smaller than a tennis ball, the lens is on top and it has f/2.5 aperture, capable of capturing videos with the resolution of 1504 x 1504 pixels at 30 frames per second, with 240° vertical view and 360° of horizontal view.

It is capable of working in extreme situations, such as extremely low (-20°C) or high (121°C) temperatures, can be submerged up to 5 meters and can last for about two hours of recording thanks to a 1600mAh battery. It also has Bluetooth 4.0 and integrated Wi-Fi, which will allow you to connect to a application for image editing.

“GoPro did a good job, they own the action camera market. Nobody owns the 360-degree video market,” said Peter Adderton, CEO of 360fly, to Mashable.

It will be more and more common to bump into the 360 degree videos through the Internet. O Facebook already works on “spherical videos” and Google has even released a YouTube type video, in addition to announcing the jump project, which combines recording from 16 GoPros simultaneously.

However, the main focus of this type of content is to increase the popularity of the virtual reality. As with 4K, the difficulty of virtual reality is no longer the hardware, but the lack of content. There are already exciting projects in the area, such as Sony's games for Project Morpheus VR, but a device like this is capable of quickly increasing the amount of media available, especially for its low cost: US $ 399.

The launch of 360fly is scheduled for August. At Pre-sales have already started.
