Samsung’s 360 Round camera has 17 lenses

Samsung launched a new camera today called the 360 Round. It shoots, as you can likely infer from its name, 360-degree footage. It’s equipped with 17 lenses, including eight stereo pairs that are positioned horizontally and a single lens positioned vertically. The camera and its lenses are water and dust resistant for outdoor shooting and live-streaming. The 360 Round builds on Samsung’s prior work with its Project Beyond camera.

Samsung’s particularly proud of the fact that the camera doesn’t require a fan for cooling, meaning it’s quieter and lighter than other cameras. The camera stitches images together to create a virtual environment through included PC software. It goes on sale at some point in October, but Samsung hasn’t announced the pricing yet.
