one of the big issues with creating virtual reality content and 360-degree camera content is the time it takes from capturing to stitching and then distribution that is where the live planet system wants to come in and make everything much much more simple this is a prototype camera right now as you can see the real version is actually going to be quite a little bit smaller and much more compact it is an entire live virtual reality system so you can see everything happening live around you streamed either to a computer through the cloud in a virtual reality headset so how this works there are sixteen lenses we have synchronized sensors sitting behind them all the processing and the encoding and the stitching itself is done in camera there is an internal 512 gigabytes storage system that is used for recording video or you can actually stream it live up to the cloud now what the cloud does is then take care of all of that distribution problem for you so it sends it out to whatever platform you like at launch when it launches in the fourth quarter of 2016 you're going to be able to send it out to platforms like Facebook 360 YouTube 360 the oculus rift the HTC vive and the Samsung gear VR and it's not going to be cheap however it is going to cost around $10,000 when it's released at the end of this year although there is a pre-order system available and it's going to be around five thousand dollars definitely targeted towards news makers documentary filmmakers rather than the everyday consumer but you get to see yourself and watch everything in live virtual reality
