Kolor has made good headway in providing end-to-end solutions for 360 video with their Autopano stitching software and Kolor Eyes video player (including Oculus Rift support). This was remedied earlier in the year, when GoPro acquired image processing specialists Kolor. Whilst GoPro is of course well known for its camera hardware however, stitching and processing is an emerging and difficult field, one that the company had little experience in. To prove his point, they revealed their a new six-camera, spherical video solution, designed to capture raw footage capable of being stitched together to form content viewable inside a VR headset.Īpple's Computer Vision Tool for Developers Now Tracks Dogs & Cats

As part of the announcement, Google outlined its partnership with GoPro to produce a camera array comprising 16 GoPro cameras. GoPro however, despite their cameras appearing in various third-party 360 video solutions, had until now yet to enter the fray.Īt the opening keynote of Google I/O 2015 today, Clay Bavor announced Google’s ‘Jump’ program, aimed at the effective capture and sharing of 3D VR video. Now, in the wake of major companies clamouring for a slice of the VR pie, everyone’s at it. Just three years ago, the idea that big established brands in the camera industry would actively tackle the complexities of 360 degree video for VR would have been unthinkable. GoPro, the biggest name in rugged ‘action’ video cameras, is ready to jump into the VR space with a 16 camera array based on Google’s new ‘Jump’ design for 360 degree VR video.
