OZO is a virtual reality camera created 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 (HMDs), with immersive, 360 degree videos and spatially accurate surround sound.^[1] 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 five figure price tag, OZO is not a consumer product. ^[2] 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 post-production services.

Features
