Pilot Era



Virtual Reality, as well as Augmented Reality, is considered to be the next big thing in the mobile -and other- industry so, creating content for this matter is important. For that reason, Pisofttech -was founded in 2012 by the Alumnus of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology- is ready to launch the Pilot Era, a professional 8K 360° VR camera on Indiegogo so everyone can create revolutionary VR content!

Usually, the traditional professional 360° VR cameras are clunky, heavy, and complicated. Also, one must own a high-end PC for post processing like stitching to create 8K panoramic videos. The Pilot Era claims to have solved these problems! It features a high-definition 3.1″ touch screen that combined with intuitive Android-based OS, allows you to do everything in real-time in the camera such as monitoring, stitching, preview and setting adjustment. According to the manufacturer, the Pilot OS is user-friendly and supports OTA updates and function extensions. Also, featuring a USB Type-C interface, it can support many different peripherals.

Focused on efficiency, Pilot Era allows for on-the-fly processing without the need for a PC. It shoots 8K panoramic videos and photos and automatically stitches them inside the camera. Carefully designed both in hardware and software it is equipped with a high-performance AI processor for graphics processing while the four large aperture aspherical fisheye lenses with professional Sony sensors can capture every moment accurately. Plus, HDR, ISO, EV, WB, and other settings can be adjusted manually to meet everyone’s needs.
