Orah 4i camera enables 4K livestreaming for 360-degree videos in VR

VR platforms still don’t have a lot of videos that take full advantage of modern headsets, but one company has introduced a new device to make it easier to produce that kind of content.

Orah is now shipping its 4i camera. This device is available for $3,595, and it enables creators to instantly broadcast a 4K 360-degree video. That separates it from a number of other solutions in this price range that require processing time to create a smooth 360-degree image from several different source cameras. Orah claims this makes its camera ideal for livestreaming professional events for VR headsets. That’s a growing aspect of a VR industry that could generate as much as $40 billion in revenue by 2020.
