Yi & Google JUMP = $17,000 3D 360° HALO camera
Yi is calling this 17 camera behemoth the Halo using Google's Jump VR technology. The YI HALO’s innovative geometry was designed with stitching in mind. As the newest Jump camera, it was built to work with the Jump Assembler. Together they can produce high quality stitches and deliver high quality stereo VR content up to 8K x 8K. The metadata generated by the HALO helps Jump understand the shooting situation in every detail and do the best job in stitching. The stitching workflow is completely automatic so you're free to concentrate on your shoot. To better understand Jump go to http://g.co/jump
