An impressive feat, this piece of hi-tech will be able to capture epic cinematic footage for virtual reality films. Dubbed Neo, it works with Jaunt's existing hardware and software film production system. Positioning itself as the platform of choice for filmmakers, advertisers, entertainers and more, Jaunt and its 360-degree VR camera shows how this particular technology is gaining momentum in various industries. Chock full of quality functions, Neo was designed by San Francisco’s Lunar, who gave the device a sleek look. Jaunt's CTO Adrew Van Hoff says, "Because this camera’s going to be on stage with a lot of artists, and on the field [during sporting events]. It’s going to be very recognizable. Keep your eyes peeled. I think it going to be on TV [a lot] this year." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **360-degree VR Cameras:** The rise of professional 360-degree VR cameras creates opportunities for immersive storytelling and virtual reality experiences. - **Cinematic VR Footage:** The development of cameras like Jaunt's Neo enables the capture of epic cinematic footage for use in virtual reality films, opening up new possibilities for immersive content. - **VR Film Production:** The integration of 360-degree VR cameras into Jaunt's hardware and software film production system showcases the potential for streamlined and efficient virtual reality film production. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film and Entertainment:** The use of professional 360-degree VR cameras revolutionizes the film industry by introducing immersive storytelling and virtual reality experiences. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Brands and advertisers can leverage cinematic VR footage captured by cameras like Jaunt's Neo to create more engaging and immersive advertising campaigns. - **Sports and Live Events:** 360-degree VR cameras offer opportunities for enhanced fan experiences by providing immersive coverage of sporting events and concerts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immersive 360 camera debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osmo-360.md) - [Hyper High-Resolution Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-highresolution-camera.md) - [5G-Enabled 360-Degree Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-360-camera.md) - [High-End Imaging Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qoocam-3.md) - [Miniature Spatial Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ursa-cine-immersive.md) - [360°-Degree Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x5-camera.md) - [Low-Cost 360-Degree Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akaso-360.md) - [Pocket-Sized 3D Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qoocam-ego.md) - [Affordable Spatial Camera Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rfs78mm-f4-stm-dual.md)
