# 360-Degree Video Cameras The Sphericam by Jeffry Martin Captures Real-Time Panoramic Footage By Meghan Young | Published 2013-01-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphericam-by-jeffry-martin References: [dvice](http://www.dvice.com/2013-1-23/device-puts-google-street-view-car-palm-your-hand) & [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1996234044/sphericam-the-easy-360o-video-camera) The Sphericam by Jeffry Martin, a designer based in Prague, is like a personal Google Street View car. Of course, on a much smaller scale. In fact, it fits perfectly in the palm of a hand. Taking three dimensional panoramic shots to a whole new level, it captures such views in real-time just like conducting a video chat over Skype--and just as easily. Equipped with four synchronized video cameras, each using fisheye lenses, the Sphericam by Jeffry Martin allows people to capture and transmit full 360-degree, high-definition video from any location. It is capable of recording three hours of video at 25 frames per-second, the foot of which can be viewed simultaneous via the built-in monitor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **360-degree Video:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop immersive virtual reality experiences for entertainment, tourism, and real estate industries using 360-degree video technology. - **Real-time Panoramic Footage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create live event streaming platforms and remote collaboration tools that allow users to capture and share real-time panoramic footage for various applications like sports, concerts, and business conferences. - **Fisheye Lens Cameras:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine fisheye lens cameras with artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies to develop advanced surveillance systems with wide-angle coverage for security and monitoring purposes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize 360-degree video cameras to create immersive virtual reality gaming experiences and interactive movie theaters. - **Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate 360-degree video cameras in travel agencies' marketing strategies to offer virtual tours of destinations, enhancing customers' pre-trip experiences. - **Real Estate:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate 360-degree video cameras in real estate listings to enable remote property viewings for potential buyers, saving time and enhancing the decision-making process. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Spatial Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ursa-cine-immersive.md) - [Immersive 360 camera debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osmo-360.md) - [Wide-Angle Lens Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-mi-action-360.md) - [Pocket-Sized 3D Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qoocam-ego.md) - [Hyper High-Resolution Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-highresolution-camera.md) - [720-Degree Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panoramic-dash-cam.md) - [3D Streaming Camera Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-spatiallabs-stereo-eyes.md) - [5G-Enabled 360-Degree Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-360-camera.md) - [Low-Cost 360-Degree Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akaso-360.md)
