Samsung unveiled a 360 Round camera at the Developer Conference on Wednesday.

The gadget is equipped with 17 lenses; eight stereo pairs placed horizontally and one single lens positioned vertically to livestream 4K 3D video and spatial audio with little-to-no latency.

The camera combines 360-degree imagery with advanced 3D depth at a reasonable price compared to other professional 360 cameras and a fanless design to reduce weight and eliminate background noise.



“The combination of livestreaming capabilities, IP65 water and dust resistance and 17 lenses makes this camera ideal for a broad range of use cases our customers want—from livestreaming major events to filming at training facilities across various industries,” according to the Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Global Mobile B2B Team.

It goes without saying, the camera is targeted towards the filmmakers and VR-effect enthusiasts. Although the company hasn't yet revealed how much the camera will cost, but rest assured, it will not be cheap.
