24 alternatives to We've Launched a VR Video Camera – Spherical, 4K, 60FPS, Global Shutter
Hi HN, Three of us have conceived, designed, and launched Sphericam 2 on Kickstarter. We're now halfway through the campaign and have raised over $220K with backers paying $1299 and up for a camera that will be shipping in December. Our Pitch: VR is awesome but there's no content. Shooting 360 video currently is a total nightmare. We want to make it easy and fun. Our camera makes "native resolution" in Gear VR or Google Cardboard. This project follows Sphericam 1 which I launched on Kickstarter in late 2012 - we did ok, sold 100 of them, but the tech wasn't there and the market wasn't nearly…

Greetings, HN! I have created a new kind of 360º video camera with GPS and live streaming capabilities. A device like this has never existed in this form factor or price point before. After launching on Kickstarter, it has gotten coverage in Techcrunch and Boingboing, and received 89% funding in the first 24 hours. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts about the device, the Kickstarter campaign, and any ways of publicizing the campaign that I might be missing. I'm most interested in hearing anyone thoughts about how the Kickstarter page might be improved to boost conversions, as the clock is…

I was playing with this for a few weeks over the holiday break. This is one of the GS3D sample scenes running on PCVR at about 65 FPS. I'm sorting on the CPU at the moment, so there are some hitches, but it works! I may publish this as a Unity asset. (I'd love to get it working on Vision Pro, but we'll see.)

People who makes films don't have it easy. In a typical scenario - the team that produced the film makes 15% of the topline revenues. The Distributor takes 35%. And the theatre (the exhibitor) takes 50%. So even in a scenario like Obsession where the movie is making a rocket ride, the filmmakers were capped at $50M (15M upfront + 15%). The Distributors and theatres get the upside of the $330 million. In the startup world, we get upset about appstores charging 30% :) The situation gets worse for Indie films and more so for people who are using AI tools to tell stories. Films that got made,…
