Labpano launches 360-degree 8K panoramic camera, Pilot One

Pilot One

Labpano (formerly Pisofttech) launched a new generation 360-degree panoramic camera, Pilot One. It supports 8K VR photography, recording, and  8K live streaming. Pilot One comes with three innovations in one camera:  Swiftbird, a cloud-based live streaming solution, Pilot Open System, allowing developers to build their own apps, and Pilot Tour, a realtime V-SLAM positioning solution for precisely-positioned virtual tours.

Labpano claims Pilot One is the tiniest 8K 360º camera currently on the market: Built to a size of only 44mm x 44mm x 128mm (1.7 x 1.7 x 5 inches) and is packed with four high-end Sony image sensors and ultra-high precision lenses with an F2.28 aperture. The 3400mAh battery supports 2 hours of continuous 8K recording and live streaming.

Swiftbird is an end-to-end 8K stitching and distribution solution since 8K 360º live streaming has been a painful experience for many because of the requirement of a large and expensive stitching server., the company says. Swiftbird 8K Cloud VR Live Streaming Solution frees administrators from moving around and setting up bulky physical servers, as well as heavy data change tasks due to the signal shift between different regions, the company claims.

Pilot Tour is a virtual tour creation tool. With centimeter-level location accuracy using Labpano’s V-SLAM algorithm, it is now possible to create large-scale tours with automatically positioned images, the company claims.

Pilot One is built on the Pilot Open System, an open operating system built from Android, allowing users to build their own app to fully control the camera, customizing the workflow to best suit their unique business needs.

Pilot One comes with a series of modular accessories for customers to purchase based on their own needs:

  • GPS module
  • 4G module
  • 5G module
  • Ambisonic Mic,
  • Dive Housing
  • Waterproof Housing
  • Protective Case
  • Charging Grip.

Pilot One is also equipped with an upgraded real-time PilotSteady Stabilization Technology to create a steady image quality even in the bumpiest environments and 8K live streaming on-the-move.
