  • HumanEyes Technologies Initiates Worldwide Shipping for Breakthrough New 5.7K Vuze XR Dual Camera

    Versatile and highly affordable new dual-mode camera for Virtual Reality ecosystem delivers flexibility to capture and share content in 3D VR180 or 2D 360° formats

    NEW YORK, Dec. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HumanEyes Technologies, bringing Virtual Reality to Reality with its pioneering lineup of Vuze VR cameras, today announced that worldwide shipments to pre-order customers and select retail partners of the new Vuze XR camera began on November 30th. The Vuze XR made its U.S. debut at the NYVR Expo in New York City in late October.

    The Vuze XR sports a unique and versatile new design, giving consumers, content creators, prosumers and VR industry professionals the freedom to capture and share engaging content and memorable moments in stereoscopic 3D VR180 or 2D 360° — all in one compact unit. The Vuze XR delivers 5.7K 30fps video capture, 18MP still photos, video stabilization, in-camera stitching, and more.

    “The Virtual Reality industry is still in its infancy, and some of the technologies and standards are still undergoing an evolutionary process,” said Jim Malcolm, GM, North America for HumanEyes. “That said, the industry has strongly coalesced around the 2D 360° format for laptops and mobile devices and the new 3D VR180 format for VR headsets. The Vuze XR was designed to support both with stunning precision, plus it delivers 18MP still photos as well, so it literally is two versatile cameras in one.”

    Vuze XR Camera Features

    Easy-to-Use: Easily switch between 3D VR180 and 2D 360° modes with a simple click.

    Industry-leading Resolution: Video resolution at 5.7K (H.264 MP4); stills at 18MP

    Photo and Video Stitching: Up to 4K/30fps in-camera, desktop stitching 5.7K/30fps when edited with Vuze VR Studio software

    Mobile app Stabilization and Editing: Including 360° panoramas, effects, filters, stickers, and ‘Director’s Cut’ mode

    LIVE Broadcast + Share to Social: Live stream to popular social media channels, including Facebook and YouTube in 360°

    Google VR180 Certification: HumanEyes is working closely with Google to complete VR180 certification for the Vuze XR

    The Vuze XR Mobile App

    Available for iOS and Android devices, the Vuze XR Mobile App provides remote camera control via a Wi-Fi connection, photo and video preview, basic and advanced editing, stabilization control, photo and video filters, and the ability to upload to social media, as well as live streaming.

    Desktop Editing Software: The Vuze XR also comes with robust desktop editing software for both Mac and PCs, supporting basic editing and stitching functions for VR180 and 360° content.

  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev I've noticed that on mine - in addition, they capture with extremely deep DOF similar to action cameras which makes it difficult/unlikely to get effective subject/background separation - but for pulling off camera movements that would be otherwise impossible or very difficult, I'm increasingly excited by the possibilities.

  • @eatstoomuchjam

    Huge issue with virtual cameras is 180 degree lenses (and lack of any hoods), result - extreme suspicion to flares (and lack of contrast).

  • I can't see much upside to shooting narrative in 360, but "virtual normal cameras" is actually pretty exciting (though the quality will need to improve a bit more)

  • @radikalfilm

    It is good idea to make it like topic, I guess.

    Guys who shoot VR professionally could help here.

    For me it looks extremely hard, very limiting. And it seems like this is that industry realized in last year.

    It is also why you see so much marketing push towards using 360 video to make virtual normal cameras out of it.

  • Off topic but related: are there VR production rules already in existence? How early is this field on the uptake curve compared to film? 1900? 1910? 1930? I don't mean tech wise (though that is a question in itself), but as a creative medium. What carries over from film production? How is a shoot staged? How is it lit? Has anyone documented the production of a VR movie?

  • Only 6 days left for the Pre-order Bundle.

    Order now and save $175.

    Pre-order Bundle includes:

    • 5.7k Vuze XR Camera
    • Underwater housing for 360°
    • 64 GB microSD card
    • Free shipping

    https://vuze.camera/camera/vuze-xr-camera/

  • i am comparing now VuzeXR and qoocam and still can not decide.

    VuzeXR + 5.7k + protective case for 360 mode in the preorder pack

    qoocam + 120 fps + depth map + came earlier and software features seem more finished and advanced

    but little is known about vuzeXR may be they can catch with some of the software features of qoocam later?

    Does some of the members plan to review VuzeXR?
