This short video provides a real-life example of how a 360 degree camera works. Special thanks to Josh and Matt at New ERA for sharing this production.
This is a short demo of a Bosch panoramic camera being operated in the free Bosch Video Security program.
The camera is a 12-megapixel sensor with 360-degree lens that has the capability to de-warp it's image on-board the camera or "client-side" in a variety of software platforms. They set it up on the ceiling of the staging room at LDR Studios which is about 50' long and 20' high.
