Go see table #635 at CES Unveiled on January 5, 2019 or visit their booth #21323, South Hall,LVCC during #CES2020 and you can get to see Pilot One, which is Labpano’s new generation 360-degree panoramic camera.
It supports 8K VR photography, recording, and 8K live streaming. Pilot One comes with three innovations in one camera: –
- Swiftbird 8K Live Streaming. Swiftbird is an end-to-end 8K stitching and distribution solution. 8K 360º live streaming has been a painful experience for many because of the requirement of a large and expensive stitching server. Labpano has changed this with a major innovative solution, Swiftbird 8K Cloud VR Live Streaming Solution. It frees administrators from moving around and setting up bulky physical servers, as well as heavy data change tasks due to the signal shift between different regions. Simply connect the camera to the network, you can easily share 8K high-quality 360° real-time contents across the globe.
- Pilot Tour. Pilot Tour is a breakthrough for virtual tour creation. With centimeter-level location accuracy using Labpano’s V-SLAM algorithm, it is now possible to create large-scale tours with automatically positioned images. Compared with other third-party platforms, Pilot Tour can generate a virtual tour with fewer steps, less time, and lower cost. Pilot One is the most efficient VR camera to create an immersive tour in a large open space like a city square.
- Pilot Open System. Pilot One is not only a VR camera but also a hardware platform. Pilot One is built on the Pilot Open System, an open operating system built from Android, allowing users to build their own app to fully control the camera, customizing the workflow to best suit their unique business needs.
Pilot One is probably the tiniest 8K 360º camera currently on the market, it is only 44mm x 44mm x 128mm (1.7 x 1.7 x 5 inches) and it is packed with four high-end Sony image sensors and ultra-high precision lenses with an F2.28 aperture. The 3400mAh battery supports two hours continuous 8K recording and live streaming.
Pilot One comes with a series of modular accessories for customers to purchase based on their own needs:
- GPS module
- 4G module
- 5G module
- Ambisonic Mic
- Dive Housing
- Waterproof Housing
- Protective Case
- Charging Grip
It is also equipped with upgraded real-time PilotSteady™ Stabilization Technology giving a rock-solid steady image quality even in the bumpiest environments and of course allows 8K live streaming on-the-move.
