But that cam is not "omni-spheric 3D" like the OZO but is "pano-spheric 3D".
No upper or lower image is captured. Many times that is not needed and it does help with the stream and capture rates same as NON-3D cams do, but much lost in immersion.
But on the other hand, I think Gopro has taken the totally wrong approach to VR/360 cams with this and the other NON-3D version with 6 cams.
They need to go back to the drawing board and build it from the ground-up.
However, if you are looking to shoot good 3D adult, you only need a 3D kit and 2 standard hero's. No, you don't get the 360 & head tracking, but it is still "very good" 3D video on the cheap.
With the release of the VUZE and VOKE , GoPro is going to find themselves behind the curve in this segment they started soon enough in ACTION/SPORTS CAM's .
While those cams are not sports cams, it shows just how fast things are moving.
Dozens of company's are racing to be the first to do '360 action cams' and we have seen nothing from GoPro that shows they are on top of their game anymore for their game.
