Why does it have a swivelling head? I would have just mounted a 360 camera there. Then the operator can turn their head in any direction as fast as they want without the latency of waiting for a mechanical head to catch up.
- Ancapistani 2y agoThis is likely safer - an onlooker can easily tell where the operator is looking, and therefore know if they are likely to be seen.
- fragmede 2y agoif the operator gets sick from the latency, even if they see someone they're more likely to have issues though

- enva2712 2y agoGood point, the sensor count exponentiates and the optics get a lot more complicated if you want a fully integrated system. Nothing on the market I know of but with where we are on the scaling curves now might be the time to try something like it - you could put together a basic proof of concept with a load of commercial sensor elements and wide angle lenses on a sphere. Eventually you can consolidate the central sensors and lenses into concentric hemispheres. You can reduce the data volume by narrowing the camera angles eventually too Not sure there’s a market but maybe with VR stereo 360 becomes more valuable, who knows. Technologically doable though
