Lucid Cam VR camera

2017-01-05
it's a virtual reality camera you can fit in your pocket it's called the lucid cab and it has two cameras two microphones and it's capturing a 180 degree stereoscopic VR image what you can do is once you captured the photo or video by switching this switch at the top of the camera import it into your phone using Wi-Fi now I do have a little bit of trouble importing using the dedicated app and the Wi-Fi here at CES it's a very busy mall there's lots of network connectivity issues so I did have to step outside to get it to work eventually I've managed to pull off the footage and it's pretty impressive it's just a point-and-shoot there's no exposure controls anything like that once you have it in the app you can also view the 2d or the 3d object and navigate around like you would in a normal VR headset there is also an optional case that you can buy so you can watch that 2d and 3d content using the case as well I did find there was a little orientation issue though when I did shoot some of the stuff myself so hopefully that will be ironed out by the time it comes out to consumers in the second quarter of 2017 and it will cost four hundred dollars which is a little bit pricey because it's only giving you 180 degree field of view but you can put a couple of these back to back for a more full 360
