HumanEyes Technologies’ Vuze XR Camera To Begin Shipping in November

With companies such as Samsung looking to corner the 360-degree camera market with affordable devices like the Gear 360, while Google is going for increased depth with VR180 cameras, HumanEyes Technologies aims to conquer both thanks to its new Vuze XR camera. Having made its US debut last week at the NYVR Expo in New York City, the camera is gearing up for a November launch.

Unveiled earlier this summer, the Vuze XR is an innovative device that enables the capture of 2D 360° or stereoscopic 3D VR180 video and pictures.

Able to switch between the two modes with a quick click, the camera features video resolution at 5.7K at 30fps or up to 4K at 60fps (H.264 MP4), with stills coming in at 18MP. There’s 4K/30fps in-camera stitching available, with desktop stitching at 4K/60fps or 5.7K/30fps when edited with Vuze VR Studio software.

And thanks to the Vuze XR Mobile App for iOS and Android devices, users have access to remote camera control via a Wi-Fi connection, photo and video preview, basic and advanced editing, stabilization control, photo and video filters, and the ability to upload to social media, as well as live streaming.

“In designing the Vuze XR, we set out to deliver a camera that offers the ultimate in versatility to both consumers and professionals, and to do so at a price point that is within reach of just about everyone,” said Jim Malcolm, GM, North America for HumanEyes in a statement. “Its innovative, compact design essentially does the job of three cameras, making it ideal for activities like hiking, concerts, outdoor adventures and travel where you need to travel light, yet want the freedom to capture your experience in a variety of formats.”

There’s currently a limited time Vuze XR pre-order bundle available which includes: the Vuze XR Camera, a 360° Underwater Housing, a 64GB MicroSD card, and free global shipping — all for $439 USD until 4th November 2018. For further updates from HumanEyes Technologies, keep reading VRFocus.

HumanEyes Technologies Launches New 5.7K Vuze XR Camera

An increasing number of creators are taking up the challenge of crafting 360-degree videos, as the spread of platforms allowing more and more consumers to enjoy 360-degree content. However, for many users, the hardware needed for creating 360-degree and virtual reality (VR) remains out of reach. HumanEyes Technologies is seeking to address this by offering the new Vuze XR camera for pre-order.

The company says that the new Vuze XR Camera allows consumers and professionals to create and share 360-degree or VR180 content, both of which can be captured in 5.7K resolution. The camera will include the Vuze Mobile app for both Android and iOS along with desktop editing software for Mac and Windows.

“People want to bring their content to life and they want to share their experiences for others to enjoy. We created a dual 360° and VR180 camera, along with a companion mobile app, giving anyone the ability to capture high quality immersive experiences that can be shared in the moment. The Vuze XR Camera makes it easy and fun to share all of your favorite moments from every angle,” said Shahar Bin-Nun, CEO of HumanEyes Technologies.

Users of the Vuze XR Camera can livestream to social media, or share photos and videos with family and friends. Users can also create their own website to host and share content with the HumanEyes Zone.

The design of the Vuze XR Camera allows users to simply ‘click’ between 2D 360 mode when the camera is closed and 3D VR180 mode when the camera is open. The camera is capable of capturing footage of up to 5.7K at 30fps or up to 4K at 60fps.

The Vuze XR camera can be pre-ordered from the official Vuze website, priced at $439 (USD). Accessories such as the tripod (priced at $29.95) and an underwater case (priced at $99.95). The Vuze XR camera is being demonstrated at the Photokina trade show from 26th-29th September, 2018.
