[[OZO]] is a [[virtual reality]] [[camera]] created developed by [[Nokia Technologies]]. Unveiled on July 28, 2015, this 360 degrees camera is designed and built for professional [[VR]] Filmmakers. Content filmed with the ball-shaped OZO can be viewed on various [[VR Devices]] ([[HMD]]s), with [[immersive]]stereoscopic 3D, 360 degree videos and spatially accurate surround sound.<ref name="initial_press">http://company.nokia.com/en/news/press-releases/2015/07/29/nokia-announces-ozo-virtual-reality-camera-for-professional-content-creators</ref> One of key innovations of OZO is its ability to allow the filmmakers to preview content in real time without waiting for it to be stitched together. With a 5 five figure price tag, OZO is not a consumer product. <ref name="verge">http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/28/9064499/nokia-vr-camera-ozo</ref> Its intended for filmmakers and advertisers and offers an end-to-end solution for professional capture, editing and playback of cinematic VR experiences.
OZO is partnered with [[Jaunt VR]] for its camera usage and post-production services. OZO will cost $60,000 and is scheduled to be released in Q1, 2016. In addition to the camera, OZO will have [[#Accessories|multiple accessories]] available for purchase.
==Features==
*Records spatial audio through 8 integrated microphones.
*Software built for OZO enables Allows the filmmaker to preview the footage in real-time 3D viewing, with an innovative playback solution without a lengthy stitching process. Traditionally the stitching process that removes creates a 360 degree video can take hours. OZO allows the filmmaker can view the low resolution version of the need to pre-assemble a panoramic imagefootage in just minutes after recording.
*OZO also integrates Integrates into existing professional workflows and works with third-party tools, dramatically simplifying content production at all stages.<ref name="initial_press">http://company.nokia.com/en/news/press-releases/2015/07/29/nokia-announces-ozo-virtual-reality-camera-for-professional-content-creators</ref> *Produces content that can be viewed with a [[HMD]] or as [[360 Video]] on YouTube. *OZO can be placed on a standard tripod with SDI and power cables. It can also be operated remotely with Wi-Fi, utilizing internal SSD and battery.
==Hardware==
Spherical device about the size of a grape fruit. It has 8 cameras positioned evenly apart. Each camera shoots in 2K x 2K resolution and covers 195 degrees [[field of view]]. OZO captures video at 30 frames per second and is almost entire stereoscopic, except for a small monoscopic area at the tail end of camera. It has a swappable 500GB SSD that allows 45 minutes of continous recording.
The base OZO package include the camera, [[#Accessories|Digital Cartridge]], camera mount, [[#Accessories|Docking Station]] and power supply. Additional [[#Accessories|accessories]] can be purchased separately.
