So far HumanEyes has only released one promo video for the Vuze XR. The Vuze XR looks small enough to fit in your pocket and the lenses themselves are reasonably thin, which should hopefully reduce visible stitching lines. While it doesn’t look like you’ll need a selfie stick to use it, I still hope it comes with the standard tripod attachment!

The cameras duel lenses sit atop a long handle that seems to be well designed for handheld use. I personally don’t like the idea of having to do this manually, so I was glad to see that Vuze have made it as easy as pushing a button. As it needs to shoot both 180 3D and 360 with just two lenses, it needs to be able to move at least one of them. The first thing that stood out for me when I saw the Vuze XR is the design. VR180 is being pushed quite heavily by Facebook and YouTube as an easier alternative to 360 because it requires less post processing and no stitching! Vuze has plenty of experience in developing 3D cameras, so I have high hopes that the 3D 180 aspect of the XR will be one of its best features.

Of course resolution is only one aspect of what makes video look good, but it doesn’t hurt to have as many pixels as possible. The difference between 5.7K and 4K can be very noticeable, which is why I’m quite excited about the potential of the Vuze XR. Shooting in 360 isn’t much of a big deal any more, shooting in 360 & 180 certainly makes the camera stand out, but doing so with 5.7K resolution is kind of special! So far there is no other 360 camera that can do all three the closest is the Kandao QooCam which features 3 lenses and can also shoot both 180 and 360 at a resolution of 4K. Unknown – (promo video suggests yes, or at least an underwater case)
