Yellowbird

If you thought Google Streetview was cool, you haven’t seen what yellowBird can do. This camera uses six cleverly divided lenses in order to capture video in every possible viewing direction. The data stream generated by the camera is impressive. Through a double glass-fiber connection, a stream of 1200 Mbit per second is captured and saved in an uncompressed format. Next to the camera, a surround sound microphone system enables to record audio at 96 khz as well.

The yellowbird camera can be utilized in a variety of ways. First of all, videos can be captured from a regular tripod. Additionally the camera can be setup within a steadycam suit and “float” above the head of the camera operator. Furthermore, multiple connections support the camera to be mounted on a car or under a helicopter.

Check out the demo video below!

    This camera just opened a whole new world of possibilities. Imagine having the chance to watch a movie that allows you to tilt your view, it’d be so awesome for a horror movie.
    Awesome post!

    This is really great! Especially for concerts or something like this. BUT I don’t think it is for movies. Because it is really easy to miss the good parts of the movie.
