AAR Camera Ball

Immersive Media is selling a “camera ball” with 11 lenses on it that provides nearly-360 degree motion picture capture. All 11 camera feeds are recorded individually and a software algorithm stitches them together in real-time so that you can “pan” around the room, even though the camera does not move, but continues to record everything in all directions. They showed me film of their system being used at NTC.

These cameras can be used to record everything that is happening in an important area during live training. The “camera ball” can see and record in all directions simultaneously and the user can steer around the complete scene in the same manner that we currently pan a single-lens camera. Someone at NTC has already used this at least once, but I was not able to find out who from the vendor.
