GoPro Unveils Omni, the name of their consumer spherical rig
GoPro unveiled the name of their in development consumer VR rig today. The rig is called the Omni and will position up to 6 GoPro’s for Hero3’s, Hero3+’s, or Hero4’s, and future GoPro cameras. The rig is designed to film 6 synced cameras that are later stitched together to create spherical perspective. The final file/footage is designed for use VR headsets or social media interactive video for playback. Not much else was unveiled other then some spherical footage from last weeks X-Games. I’d personally suggest following GoPro’s Cinema Marketing Manager Jim Geduldick @FilmBot on twitter who has been sharing a lot of behind the scene details and results with GoPro’s Omni. I’ve expect to see more as we get closer to March or April for release and pricing details.
