Thanks to ImmerVision’s expertise in 360-degree optic technology and C360 Technologies extensive experience in 360-degree live broadcast camera systems and event capturing; this single panomorph lens system is quickly heading to broadcasters, event promoters, and content-providers worldwide, promising to outdate current systems overnight.
The breakthrough is made possible using ImmerVision’s panomorph super-wide-angle lens technology. The 6K-quality lens captures 360-degree views without panning, stitching or blind spots. This lens certified ImmerVision Enables, The 360-degree Video Standard, already well known in the security industry, enables users to view events from any angle, watch multiple views at once on the same screen, and share an immersive experience across multiple platforms and devices.
