The VR camera called SONICAM
enables users to capture both 2D and 3D videos and images in full 360 degrees.
It’s a professional, spherical VR camera with 9 fish-eye cameras, 64
microphones, 4K HD resolution, and 360 degrees field of view. The combination
of these features in one single device means that users can film any scenes
vividly without any blind spots or image distortion. A wide range of events and
occasions can be captured such as news coverage, live streaming of sports,
broadcasting concerts, producing microfilm for wedding ceremonies, and just
capturing normal everyday life. The camera supports H.265/H.264 encoding for
both real-time messaging protocol and real-time streaming protocol live
streaming broadcast. SONICAM designers have developed 3D spatial sound
technology so that sound is mapped in full 360 degrees to the corresponding
video. It records sound from any direction and naturally captures the viewer’s
attention to specific areas of the video. Moreover, the array of beamforming
microphones automatically reduces ambient noise for a more immersive VR
experience. This technique is also compacted in the spherical VR camera and
users can select different time intervals for a customized time-lapse footage.
Users can perform real-time
stitching to produce professional level panoramic videos and images. This is
done by combining SONICAM’s very own algorithm and using an FPGA
(Field-programmable gate array). Recorded footages and captured images are also
available for instant preview while shooting, so the camera controller can
immediately judge if the materials are usable or relevant for their project. SONICAM
is a photographer’s dream camera as it also contains ISO, white balance,
shutter, a professional Gamma setting, sharpness, saturation, contrast, and
much more. RAW image format is available for post-production so users can edit
them with their own artistic touch. SONICAM is equipped with many other smart
features like Wi-Fi, GPS, accelerometer, and it links through a smartphone app
where users can easily control the captured images and footages. The app is
available both on iOS and Android, which enables remote shooting and
controlling of the device. On the actual VR camera, there are only three
physical buttons which make it so easy to adapt to its functionalities. All
images and footages that you capture are stored in the 128GB SD card included
inside the VR camera.
