(sphere) has created the first lens that sees everything. 

(sphere)’s unique lens captures a full spherical 360° omnidirectional  field of view in a single image — the  first of its kind. This allows the creation of spherical video content with no stitching using a conventional camera, vastly streamlining the content creation process and enabling shots that were previously impossible.

• Captures a complete 360° sphere without gaps in a single shot

• Eliminates stitching process

• Shoots extremely close (1mm) without stitching artifacts or parallax errors

• Uses your existing professional camera and workflow

The unique optical design of (sphere) lenses captures the full sphere of light on a single image sensor on a single camera. Since it's captured on a single sensor and a single memory card, we've eliminated the need for expensive multi-camera rigs and we've made video stitching an obsolete art. Why stitch multiple videos together (and deal with those unsightly seams), when you can get it all from the start?

Best of all, (sphere)’s lens is designed to work with cameras and workflows you are already familiar with – so you don’t have to worry about buying new equipment. Have you been staying out of AR/VR/MR content creation and virtual production because the cost and learning curve was too steep? Not anymore. (sphere) makes it easy to get into AR/VR/MR and virtual production with the equipment you already have and without the need to learn complex software and stitching techniques.

How does it work?

(sphere) uses a special, patented toroidal mirror with a reflective surface and series of optical elements to capture the full sphere of light around the lens into a disc-like image on the camera sensor. Using a (sphere) pixel mapping, we then easily map the image to a spherical shape. Once the video is shot, converting it to a spherical experience is easy. 

(sphere) videos can be converted to VR experiences without using expensive, time-consuming, and complicated stitching and post-processing software. The process is so easy it can be done on iOS and Android devices.
