The market for Action Cams, or Sport Cam, these small board cameras to capture videos in the most extreme situations, is expanding. In addition to the GoPro, Oregon, Drift and other, brands, Geonaute could differentiate themselves by offering to capture 360 degrees.
These small cameras offer ultra resistant all some common characteristics: they are compact, can hang almost anywhere, operate autonomously, and have a large angle to offer sensational reports of any walk on foot. Geonaute sees things differently and offer a compact camera with three wide-angle sensor 8 Megapixels allowing to capture the video 360 degrees almost spherical.
The basic idea may left doubtful, After all, who wants to collect all the data in one video, and how can we use this type of capture for rendering 2D screen? The camera itself looks like the cameras that fit certain premises except that the sensors have color and propose, Video mode 360 degrees, a resolution of 2048x1024 pixels. The viewing angle is 360 degrees horizontally, and 150 degrees vertically, which explains its relatively large base. In addition, it also allows the realization of video time-lapse, thus providing snapshots of a resolution of 4096x2048 pixels.
With its 3000 mAh battery, you can expect up to 2 hours of recording, and microSD card slot supports up to 32GB capacity. Like the GoPro, should be offered with a waterproof although camera itself is already certified IPX7. So finally, what is the interest of this camera? Well unlike other cameras that can provide 2D rendering a panorama, the camera can be read Geonaute with software specially developed by the mark allowing the user the choice of the angle of view.
Until now, it was associate multiple cameras, and a heavy processing software for video stitching. To use this type of interactive video to 360 degrees should be much more flexible, everything is synchronized automatically upon registration. The software also allows several mounting options, to lock a certain viewing angle, and a set of tools to carry out the videos of their choice. Mobile applications, a remote control and some accessories should also be compatible with the camera. Regarding the price, the camera 360 degrees Geonaute should be fairly well placed, since the announcement to $ 400, either in the same bracket as the current reference GoPro Hero 3, it will still wait a little longer to learn more about his raw performance, and particularly the frame rate per second given.
