OZO is a virtual reality camera developed by Nokia. Unveiled on July 28, 2015, this 360 degrees camera is designed and built for professional VR Filmmakers. Content filmed with the ball-shaped OZO can be viewed on various VR Devices (HMDs), with stereoscopic 3D, 360 degree videos and spatially accurate surround sound.[1] One of key innovations of OZO is its ability to allow the filmmakers to preview content in real time without waiting for it to be stitched together. With a five figure price tag, OZO is not a consumer product. [2] Its intended for filmmakers and advertisers and offers an end-to-end solution for professional capture, editing and playback of cinematic VR experiences.
OZO is partnered with Jaunt VR for camera usage and post-production services.
OZO will cost $60,000 and is scheduled to be released in Q1, 2016. In addition to the camera, OZO will have multiple accessories available for purchase.
Features
- Captures stereoscopic 3D video through 8 synchronized global shutter sensors.
- Records spatial audio through 8 integrated microphones.
- Allows the filmmaker to preview the footage in real time, without a lengthy stitching process. Traditionally the stitching process that creates a 360 degree video can take hours. OZO allows the filmmaker can view the low resolution version of the footage in just minutes after recording.
- Integrates into existing professional workflows and works with third-party tools, dramatically simplifying content production at all stages.[1]
- OZO can be placed on a standard tripod with SDI and power cables. It can also be operated remotely with Wi-Fi, utilizing internal SSD and battery.
Hardware
Spherical device about the size of a grape fruit. It has 8 cameras positioned evenly apart. Each camera shoots in 2K x 2K resolution and covers 195 degrees field of view. OZO captures video at 30 frames per second and is almost entire stereoscopic, except for a small monoscopic area at the tail end of camera. It has a swappable 500GB SSD that allows 45 minutes of continous recording.
