I love the photos and videos that I’ve captured with them. I have three VR180 cameras at the moment, the Kandao Qoocam, Lenovo Mirage (reviewed here) and the LucidCam (samples here). But even casual users will find shooting in VR180 much more familiar and similar to how they shoot with a smartphone. That’s one of the reasons VR180 is appealing to many VR video professionals.
With VR180, the camera shows only the front hemisphere, which means the director and shooting equipment can stay behind the camera and remain hidden.
For example, you normally can’t employ lighting because the lights would be visible in the shot. Even audiences can get confused and wonder whether they are missing out on what the director really wants them to see. It’s hard for the director to force the audience to look at a specific direction. One of the challenges of shooting in 360 is that it requires an entirely different shooting technique.
Second, it’s much easier to shoot, especially for narratives. Although it doesn’t provide a 360 view, heatmaps show that many people tend to look only in the forward direction of a 360 video. A photo or video in 3D 180 looks very immersive in a VR headset, more so than a 2D 360, in my opinion. VR180 is a 3D 180-degree format for photos and videos. The key feature of Vuze XR is that it can convert from a 360 camera to a VR180 camera. What is VR180 and why is it so interesting? Vuze XR in VR180 mode It’s not the first such camera, but unlike other hybrid VR180 cameras such as the Kandao Qoocam, this one has a 5.7K resolution, and will cost just $439, making it much more affordable than other 360 cameras the GoPro Fusion ($699, 5K) or Garmin Virb 360 ($799, 5.7K). The Vuze XR is a new 360 camera that converts into a VR180 camera (XR stands for Cross Reality). Here is an in-depth review of the Vuze XR, with a comparison against other popular VR180 and 360 cameras: BACKGROUND Updated: Septem(complete specs, sample videos, price, availability) Updated: Decem( stabilization demo video) Updated: Ma(detailed review and comparison) Here are more details about this exciting new camera, including complete specifications and sample videos. It will be $439, making it one of the most affordable 5.7K 360 cameras on the market. Humaneyes launched the Vuze XR, a 5.7K 360 camera that converts to a VR180 (3D 180) camera. Combined with true manual exposure (see above), DNG mode will make the Vuze XR a very capable camera for VR180 or 360 photos.L’articolo è riportato dal sito collegato al link che state leggendo. Manual exposure: You can now adjust shutter speed and ISO for photos, giving you full manual control over exposure, which not all 360 cameras are capable of.ĭNG support: Vuze XR now has the option to take photos in DNG format which should improve image quality and give the user greater flexibility to edit the photo, especially for color temperature and tint. Arguably, a self-timer should have been released with the camera, but at least now the Vuze XR has it. It makes it easier to take selfies or, conversely, virtual tour photos where you don’t want to be included in the scene. Self-timer: A self-timer is an essential feature for 360 cameras. The updates make significant improvements to the Vuze XR. Vuze XR is a hybrid VR180 and 360 camera with 5.7K resolution. Vuze XR (reviewed here) has a firmware update that adds features including a self-timer, manual exposure, and DNG support.
