Low-Light VR Camera
Shut down after ~6 months: driver compatibility issues and market timing.
Lesson
Hardware is hard.
The lesson in full: There was a working prototype, but the project ran into various issues with driver compatibility and big names like GoPro and Insta360 releasing updated products that made our approach less viable.
What it is
An attempt to assemble a compact low-light VR camera using an off-the-shelf Sony sensor and an NVIDIA Jetson to live stream 360 video. The goal was to create a more capable alternative to existing consumer 360 cameras for professional live streaming in challenging lighting conditions.
Results
- Working prototype completed.
- ~6 months of development before shutdown.
