GOPRO INTO VR WITH NEW OMNI RIG

GoPro is into 360 degree business. It has released ‘Omni’, a camera rig which when combined with Kolor post-processing software forms a full VR content capture and post-processing solution.
The 120mm x 120mm x 120mm cube uses six cameras carefully arranged end to end and is more than just a glorified mount as GoPro says, the Omni allows cameras to act as one.

One nominated ‘primary camera’ is used to control every function of the other five, including start and stop recording!
With the six Hero4 Black cameras filming at once the Omni can output up to 8k resolution and can be used to ‘over capture’ non spherical videos with six camera angles, and edited into an HD video that jumps between perspectives.
