If you are in the market for an 8K streaming 360
degree camera a new Kickstarter campaign may be worth more investigation. The
development team at 360&Co have unveiled the “world’s first” modular 8K 360
streaming camera which is now available to back for just over £ 1,000.
We’re already looking ahead to production lines and
tooling as this is something that can be very expensive/risky. For this reason
we’ve set a funding goal that will cover any unforeseen production expenses,
and have limited the quantity of cameras so that we can assemble each camera by
hand if need be. In terms of stitching and live streaming, we’re on our third prototype
and have gone through several design iterations. In 2015 we started with a
Raspberry Pi and four cameras, before moving to a FPGA in 2016 and finally
deciding on a GPU in 2017.”
