[[Jump]] is an 3D [[VR camera]] platform designed by [[Google]]. At its core, Jump consist of a camera rig, an assembler and a video player. Featuring 16 viewpoints, the Jump's camera design will be released to the public to allow 3rd parties to build and sell the devices. Jump's assembler combines multiple video feeds to create a seamless 3D environment. The goal of Jump is to create [[360 Videos]] by capturing stereoscopic 3D footage in 360 degrees around the device.

Google has teamed up with [[GoPro]] to create the first version of the Jump. It features a ring-shaped array with 16 GoPro HERO4 cameras lining the rim. It uses software to stitch together the footage from various cameras to create the stereoscopic and panoramic videos.
