The Flying Eye comprises of the drone DJI Matrice 600 Pro and the Blackmagic Micro Studio 4K cameras. The camera attached to the drone captures ultra-high-quality 360-degree video at 6K resolution at 60fps. One of 360 Designs’ own creations, the Breeze system is used for wireless transmission. The transmitted footage is automatically stitched and delivered as 6K H.265 (HEVC), 6K NDI, and 4K SDI outputs.

Introduction

Live virtual reality broadcasting specialist 360 Designs has launched the world’s first 6K 360-degree VR broadcast quality live streaming drone called Flying Eye. The system has an impressive range of over 5 miles and it can be operated by one person. The makers exhibited and conducted live demos of the VR drone during this year’s National Association of Broadcasters Convention held in Las Vegas. The Flying Eye VR drone can be purchased directly from 360 Designs for $75000.

The Flying Eye VR Drone

The introduction of the Flying Eye VR drone by 360 Designs marks a watershed moment in the history of virtual reality technology. The makers wanted to do something that was never done before – to create a drone platform that professionals can use to capture and broadcast live high-quality 360-degree VR videos. After years of research 360 Designs built the Flying Eye system.

The 360-degree video the Flying Eye VR drone captures has practical applications in the 2D dominated television broadcasting industry. Not too long ago, 360 designs successfully extracted high-definition quality 2D feed that’s pannable and zoomable from the original live 360-degree video.

The Flying Eye system is designed for professionals, hence virtual reality supervisors, technical directors, and producers can be assured that the workflow and camera sensors are of the highest quality. The video captured using the Flying Eye drone can be live streamed directly to any VR headset, Facebook, and YouTube.

The Flying Eye comprises of the drone DJI Matrice 600 Pro and the Blackmagic Micro Studio 4K cameras. The camera attached to the drone captures ultra-high-quality 360-degree video at 6K resolution at 60fps. One of 360 Designs’ own creations, the Breeze system is used for wireless transmission. The transmitted footage is automatically stitched and delivered as 6K H.265 (HEVC), 6K NDI, and 4K SDI outputs.

The VR drone also has a camera stabilization system and a 6K stitching algorithm that automatically stitches the footage perfectly. The battery used in the Flying Eye VR drone system can power just 10 to 20 minutes of flight time. The camera and M 4/3 interchangeable lens mount can accommodate various types of lenses. The Flying Eye VR drone has a range of over 5 miles.
