Beoncam is watching from your wrist

2017-03-01
there's an old saying that goes the best camera is the one that's with you but what if that camera is on your wrist this is the beyond can a wearable 360 camera that sits on a wristband just like a watch and it tells the time so I guess it's a watch too but you don't have to wear it just on your wrist there's accessories like a handlebar mount and helmet clip or you can just walk around with it in your hand to point and shoot there are three buttons for recording picture taking and power and the company promises three hours of recording time on one charge you can see a live view of what's going on through the app and trigger the camera remotely with a phone flip between the raw equi rectangular spherical or wide-angle options to get different views so I've been wearing the camera as a watch on this wristband for a little while now it's very chunky I found that when I'm wearing a jacket or anything with long sleeves I have to pull the sleeve all the way back otherwise it gets in the vision of the camera and also there is one big problem I know this is a prototype so hopefully they'll fix it however the watch itself does not lock in properly onto the wristband so I have dropped this accidentally a lot of times it's forward off the wristband and it's pretty precarious so please I hope that they put a locking mechanism on the final version video quality looks good on the phone screen but export it to a computer and it's not all that clear the resolution is pretty limited at just 1000 by 1000 pixels recording a square video image at 25 frames a second stills are 5 megapixels but the real question is do you really want a 360-degree camera on your wrist the make is certainly hot so right now this is a prototype but will go into production with successful crowdfunding and hopefully they can iron out some of the quirks you
