Project Beyond: 3D 360 Realtime Camera
-
The world’s first true 3D omniview camera, commercialized as the Samsung Gear 3D 360 Pro. Project Beyond redefined the way we create experiences, in a form factor that is easy to carry and use. Sixteen cameras with advanced optics arranged in a patented interleaved pattern capture the world in true stereoscopic 3D, and advanced processing algorithms convert the 25+ Gbps of data into 4k stereo imagery in real time, allowing you to teleport anywhere, anytime.

Innovations include the aforementioned optical configuration, allowing for a compact design, along with internal and external software allowing for realtime photon-to-photon latency of less than 80ms. At a time when VR was seen as a gaming platform, we foreshadowed the use of VR for storytelling, work, and remote presence. -
Samsung Wearables
