Immersive Media’s Dodeca 2360 Spherical Video Camera

Yesterday we told you about the YellowBird spherical camera with it’s unique 6-part lens.  I just found out that ImmersiveMedia has a competing camera called the “Dodeca 2360″, which uses an 11-lens system in a 25-pound package suitable for mounting on a bicycle, backpack, or surfboard.  ImmersiveMedia first came on the scene with Google’s “Street View” which they helped launch back in 2007.

You can see an example of what spherical video looks like in their new campaign for Armani Jeans. Note: it’s a very slow & length load, but a nice interactive spherical video to demonstrate the technology.
