TRACE Intelligent Systems, developer of The TRACEr1 - a visually intelligent camera capable of following its owner almost anywhere and live-streaming captured footage to the internet - announced today, a partnership with the leader in 360-degree panoramic imaging, ImmerVision.
Shareable Captured Video Made Truly 'Immersive'
TRACE will integrate 360-degree panomorph optics and ImmerVision Enables 2.0 fully immersive content navigation functionalities and cross-platform compatibility into a selection of its visually intelligent auto-follow FLYr drones in order to unlock truly next-generation immersive content.
By combining the FLYr's auto-follow capability and live streaming network with
ImmerVision Enables 2.0, TRACE will position to become the first drone manufacturer to allow viewers of action footage to truly experience what their friends, idols and favorite athletes are experiencing via virtual reality, as they're being autonomously followed and filmed.
Remote viewers of live-streamed footage will be able to immerse themselves, like never before, in experiences such as chasing an all-star running back down field as he takes the ball across the goal line or "flying" behind a snowboarder as she carves her way down a steep mountain slope, and be able to look in any direction and take in the surrounding scene simply by tilting their mobile device or moving their line of sight within a virtual reality headset.
Commercial Use of ImmerVision Technology in Draganflyer Drones
TRACE will also integrate ImmerVision Enables technology with its commercial Draganflyer quadcopters. In addition, panomorph lens technology will be offered on Draganflyer quadcopters. Draganflyer pilots will benefit from the amplified wide-angle sense of scope enabling increased data collection and fully immersive navigation within live or recorded 360° imagery captured during flight.
Commercial drone use-cases will see the time required to perform an aerial scan of any area significantly reduced through the ability of the panomorph lens to capture exceptionally wide fields of view. Users will have the ability to fully immerse themselves in live or captured footage, navigating without distortion, and on any computing device, using digital pan-tilt-zoom actions, ensuring nothing important is ever missed.
TRACE Intelligent Systems & ImmerVision will be showcasing their integrated solution during January's CES 2016 event in Las Vegas.
