360 Designs has unveiled the Flying Eye, the world’s first broadcast quality, live streaming virtual reality drone. The drone comes with a price tag of $75,000. The Flying Eye will have the power to stream live 360-degree video in 6K quality over a range of up to 6 miles, allowing to earn the title as the most advanced live-streaming drone that will be available in the market. The drone will be powered by Breeze, the custom wireless transmission system exclusively developed by 360 Designs. The technology will allow the Flying Eye to share live VR streams to anywhere in the world through YouTube, Facebook, or virtual reality headsets, all of which would be in 6K quality.
“This allows your viewers to ‘fly like a bird’, live, in fully immersive virtual reality video!” stated the drone’s description on its official product page.
“We wanted to create a broadcast-quality live 360 drone platform for professionals, so they can create stunning live VR productions, with or without the drone in shot,” said 360 Designs CEO Alx Klive, who added that “the sky is no longer the limit” for broadcasts.
The Flying Eye comes with the Mini EYE 3 360-degree camera and can be outfitted to use other content capture devices. The drone also comes with automated live stitching, so bringing together the captured images and videos can be done immediately. In addition, only one person is needed to operate the Flying Eye due to there being no controls for the camera positioning, as the 360-degree camera will cover everything.
