Announced in July 2015, OZO is the first purpose-built, professional-grade virtual reality camera
designed to dramatically reduce the time, complexity and costs associated with VR production.
The OZO portfolio continues to expand with the forthcoming OZO Live and OZO Player SDK
commercial releases, creating the only market solution that can simultaneously capture 3D 360 video
and spatial audio - two must-have features to deliver a truly immersive end-user VR experience.
Announced at NAB 2016, OZO Live has been used by select partners during the summer to
successfully stream live 3D 360 degree VR at top-tier entertainment, sports and news events,
including World Youth Day, and a P!nk concert at the Hollywood premiere of Disney's Alice Through
the Looking Glass.
OZO Player SDK allows professionals and content service providers to create and support truly
immersive 3D 360 video as well as 360 spatial audio experiences using a single, unified development
interface. In addition to supporting playback of OZO-created content, the player also allows for
standard VR video and audio formats, removing barriers to the effortless creation and delivery of
great VR experiences to a wide audience.
About OZO
OZO is a first-of-its-kind professional VR tool that integrates eight cameras, all of which export a
single file, thus eliminating the need for complicated rigs, wires, long setup times, and synching and
swapping of separate memory cards. Designed to remove technical barriers so content creators can
focus on being creative, OZO requires just one simple output cable and one single file to store all
video and audio data, all in perfect sync. The OZO Software suite, included with the camera
purchase, is a complete professional production package that includes OZO Creator, OZO Remote,
and OZO Preview.
