List of 360-degree cameras
Contents
Cameras are fundamental in creating virtual and augmented reality environments.
While standard cameras require time-consuming image collection and stitching, 360-degree cameras do this by capturing a full spherical view in a single shot. These cameras use multiple lenses to capture images from different angles simultaneously. The footage is then fused by software—either in-camera or on a connected device—to create an immersive 360-degree world that can be explored in real-time with a VR headset. The quality of the camera directly impacts the realism of the experience. Below is a comparison of some popular 360-degree cameras.
