CES 2014: Now You Can Make 360 Degree Videos With a Single Camera (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Thursday January 9, 2014 @07:06AM from the a-camera-that-gives-you-an-eye-in-the-back-of-your-head dept.

The device that does this is the Geonaute 360 Degree Camera. The Geonaute display caught Tim Lord's eye at CES, and he got Geonauter (is that a word?) Marian Le Calves to show him the company's "action camera," which costs $499 -- or more accurately, will cost $499 when it starts shipping. Until then, you can pre-order. Or you could buy a GoPro camera for as little as $199. Geonaute has a bunch of videos on YouTube, some of which are quite fetching. But GoPo has a bunch of slick YouTube videos, too, and at this point they're the dominant brand in the action camera market niche. Will Geonaute be able to capture a decent market share with their 360 degree coolness -- and higher price? Or will they, GoPro, and other action camera vendors get into a price war so that every kid who has a skateboard can make good-looking videos?

I'd say the price war is on - $200-500 bucks for this gizmo already seems too high.
