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