GoPro has announced that preorders are now
open for its new 360 degree camera that takes the form of the GoPro Fusion 360
which is capable of capturing video for VR.
The GoPro Fusion 360 as you would expect is equipped
with two lenses capable of shooting up to 5.2K video at 30 frames per second
and is capable of capturing 18 megapixel spherical photographs as well as
capturing 360 degree sound.
The small 360 degree camera is also waterproof up to
16 feet, and equipped with a GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth as well as being
compatible with most GoPro mounts currently available. Full specifications are
not yet available from the GoPro website, but as soon as more details are made
available we will keep you up-to-date as always.
GoPro has also launched a new software package
called OverCapture which will be available for desktop systems and launch and
will be available on mobile devices sometime during 2018. CEO Nick Woodman
called it “arguably the most versatile creative tool,” and that you “shouldn’t
have to point” your camera anymore.
