Recently launched via Kickstarter, the new Sphericam 2 aims to provide a solution to the lack of 360 VR compatible cameras meant for the consumers.
With the creation of VR goggles, the consumer is looking for cameras that can create these videos and the consumer is not able to find reliable products until now.
As small as a tennis ball, with it’s built-in 4K lenses to capture 360-degree video at 60fps, the Sphericam 2 comes with Wi-fi as well, allowing the user to live stream video to desktop or mobile devices.
The VR industry is slowly increasing and gaining popularity in the gaming communities, especially with YouTube adding support for 360-degree videos.
