NOKIA OZO - THE NEW STEREOSCOPIC VIRTUAL REALITY CAMERA



So this is interesting. Nokia, the glorious cell phone manufacturer from yesteryear, is taking a step into the world of virtual reality. Does that strike you as odd? If so, I'm right there with you. However, this is a pretty nifty development. Nokia partnered with Jaunt VR, the virtual reality camera developer, to create the Ozo. I have a feeling that all the credit belongs to Jaunt VR though.



This 6 pound little ball is boasting some cool specs and next gen technology. We're still in the early stages of 3D and virtual reality. This new camera presents some very groovy possibilities. The Ozo has 8 lenses with global synchronized shutters, 8 integrated microphones, 3D stereoscopic video recording, and immediate low resolution stitched video review. Just imagine the possibilities. The synchronized shutters bit is especially exciting. That will save so much many post production headaches.



Here's a little teaser video that gives you absolutely nothing, but it's a cool promo all the same.
