making virtual reality video is not a cheap hobby I'm Bridget Carey this is you're seen that update nokia created a professional level virtual reality camera and boy oh boy it does not come cheap you'll need to dish out sixty thousand dollars for this camera that can capture 360 degree video and spatial audio it's called ozo and Nokia first showed off the camera in July but now it's slapped a hefty price tag on it in the hopes that big production companies can afford to drop 60 grand to be among the first with a virtual reality video for those headsets that are now being developed the O's oh ship sin 2016 what makes the O so interesting is that it records stereoscopic 3d video through eight synchronized shutters and it also has eight integrated microphones it saves all the footage into one file or you can even use this for live broadcasting but Nokia is not the only company working on cameras for this new medium Google partnered with GoPro to create the Odyssey it's a rig of 16 GoPro action cameras attached together at a cost of $15,000 if fifteen grand doesn't sound so pricy to you then you may be just the person who would buy a luxury SuperMario watch made by designer Romain Jerome now it doesn't actually play Mario games or do any SmartWatch things for about fifteen thousand dollars it does tell the time only 85 of these will be made which have hand-painted Mario icons surrounded by a titanium casing retro is fun but if you're gonna pay that kind of money you want the watch to do something right well Swiss watchmaker swatch announced that its upcoming swatch bellamy model can make payments at the register similar to how the Apple watch works the Bellamy model is launching in early 2016 and it can be used anywhere contact lists visa payments are accepted it has an NFC chip inside with high frequency radio waves that send data over short distances but that's the only smart thing it does there's no checking messages no internet at all there are so many varieties of smartwatches and all have different features it can be a bit messy this through to find the right model for you but what if you could just build your own and handpick the features you want that's the idea behind blocks it's a SmartWatch that raced 1.6 million dollars of funding on Kickstarter each block on the band holds a different feature and you clip them together to form the perfect SmartWatch one strap link would have GPS and the other may have NFC for payments or maybe one is just an extra battery for about three hundred dollars you can preorder one but it doesn't come out until June of next year that's it for this tech news update and there's more at cnet.com from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey
