Vuze firmware update4/16/2024 ![]() ![]() I wish for exposure compensation (this version of the app doesn’t have it). Speaking of settings, they are easy to access (with a button on the upper right corner) and are quite extensive, and wow, it really can shoot in 120 mbps…! At CES, I also saw a live preview, but I wasn’t able to find the live preview setting in this version. You simply choose from video (red shutter) or photo (yellow shutter) - and you have a self-timer from 0 to 30 seconds. The app has a very simple interface - even a nonphotographer should have no trouble shooting with it. Once connected, the app is able to connect to the camera right away (unlike the finnicky Wi-Fi of the Theta or worse, the Keymission 360). You simple turn on the Wi-Fi by pressing the camera’s Wi-Fi button, then you connect to the camera’s Wi-Fi signal with your phone (default password is 12345678). ![]() ![]() Currently, you cannot take photos unless you use the app, but a future firmware update will enable taking photos using the camera’s shutter, without using the app.Ĭonnecting to the app is very easy. There’s only one button to start and stop recording. I think it would have been nice if there was a silicone rubber cap that could go over the camera and cover the lenses. The included mini-handle is a convenient way to hold the camera without smudging the lenses or the body (it also has a hole for a wrist strap). ![]() The body of the camera will also show fingerprints (at least in the black finish - not sure about the other colors). Holding the Vuze takes a little getting used to, because there are so many lenses waiting to be smudged by your fingerprints. Even though the body looks plastic, it feels very solid. It is heavier than I expected and feels about as heavy as a stone plate of the same size. The Vuze is about the size of a CD sleeve (remember those, younguns?). The leatherette case is handsome and semi-rigid. Note that the Vuze has a matte finish, unlike the glossy finish shown in some preproduction pictures. The minimum shooting distance is 50cm in front of the lens and 150cm from the corners.Įnough with the specs. Removable Micro SD card (minimum speed: UHS-1). Internal Li-ion 3,700 mAh (3.8V) battery with 2 hours battery life Inertial measurement units (IMU): Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass Audio recorded on four (4) separate tracks. Spatial audio via four (4) MEMS 48Hz microphones. MP4 format with H.264 compressionĨ0 or 120 mbps (10 or 15 mbps per sensor) Here are the key specifications of the release version of Vuze Camera: Model numberĮight (8) lenses, each with 180 degrees x 120 degrees field of viewĮight (8) Sony IMX408 sensors, each with 1920 x 1080 resolutionģ840 x 3840 stereo (3840 x 1920 per eye). Perhaps most surprising of all, Vuze would be available for “under $1,000.” Humaneyes promised that the Vuze would have a resolution of 4k per eye. The 4k-capable Samsung Gear 360 had just been announced and would not go on sale until the end of April 2016. At that time, the highest video resolution in consumer 360 cameras was limited to 1920 x 960. Instead of a large rig, Vuze would be a little larger than your hand. Early last year, they announced the Vuze Camera, which would be the first affordable 3D 360 camera. Finally, more than a year after it was first announced, the Vuze Camera ( $799 at B&H) is here and it fulfilled all the promises when the Vuze was announced.Humaneyes, however, wanted to bring 3D 360 video capture capability to consumers. Initially, Vuze was scheduled for release in October 2016, but that was delayed for additional testing. However, until now, 3D 360 videos required large, expensive 360 camera rigs, such as the GoPro Odyssey ($15,000), which uses sixteen GoPro cameras, and required very powerful computers to stitch the videos together. 3D 360 videos offer a much more immersive view compared to 2D 360 videos. ![]()
