That’s one of the reasons VR180 is appealing to many VR video professionals. With VR180, the camera shows only the front hemisphere, which means the director and shooting equipment can stay behind the camera and remain hidden.

For example, you normally can’t employ lighting because the lights would be visible in the shot. Even audiences can get confused and wonder whether they are missing out on what the director really wants them to see. It’s hard for the director to force the audience to look at a specific direction. One of the challenges of shooting in 360 is that it requires an entirely different shooting technique. Second, it’s much easier to shoot, especially for narratives. Although it doesn’t provide a 360 view, heatmaps show that many people tend to look only in the forward direction of a 360 video. A photo or video in 3D 180 looks very immersive in a VR headset, more so than a 2D 360, in my opinion. VR180 is a 3D 180-degree format for photos and videos. The key feature of Vuze XR is that it can convert from a 360 camera to a VR180 camera. What is VR180 and why is it so interesting? Vuze XR in VR180 mode It’s not the first such camera, but unlike other hybrid VR180 cameras such as the Kandao Qoocam, this one has a 5.7K resolution, and will cost just $439, making it much more affordable than other 360 cameras the GoPro Fusion ($699, 5K) or Garmin Virb 360 ($799, 5.7K).
