The design features 16 viewpoints and will be released to the public. Jump is able to create 360 Videos by capturing stereoscopic 3D footage in 360 degrees around the device.

Google has teamed up with GoPro to create the first version of the device. It features a ring-shaped array with 16 GoPro HERO4 cameras lining the rim. It uses software to stitch together the footage from various cameras to create the stereoscopic and panoramic videos.
