No doubt the camera-maker will be keen to make use of that new software with its own VR and immersive video, hopefully at a more amateur-friendly price point. GoPro bought Kolor, a panoramic video company back in April, one month prior to Jump's announcement. Odyssey is separate from GoPro's own spherical video solution that only uses six cameras, which hopefully will make it more accessible when it finally becomes available. For those curious, all those cameras combined provide an output at 2K x 2K over/under (rather than side-by-side) panoramic MPEG4 video at 150Mbit/s or 8K x 8K at 600Mbit/s according to GoPro's spec-sheet. GoPro tells us the need for 16 cameras comes down to the specification of Jump (Google), and the assembler software.

It is, of course, all about the 360-degree/3D experience, and Google with GoPro hopes that Odyssey can raise the bar in terms of immersive video quality. Once combined, the rig will shoot 2.7K video in 4:3 aspect ratio. The rest of the package includes connectivity mounts ("bacpacs") for each camera, cables, memory cards, a pelican case and (of course) the cylindrical Odyssey rig itself. What do you get for your money? Well, 16 GoPros for starters (that accounts for $8,000 of the Odyssey's cost at the camera's $500 retail price). We also get to know a little bit more about the rig, including its cost: an eye-watering (at least for us amateurs) $15,000.

Google already did something similar, but this time the scheme appears to be specifically aimed at professional partners. Today, prospective content creators can put their name down to get early access to the hardware (pictured after the break), which GoPro tells us is only available in limited quantity. Either way, this is being considered a professional tool, and it has a professional price tag to go along with that.Google launched Jump, a platform for VR video, back at its developer conference in May - along with a slightly bonkers camera rig called Odyssey co-designed with GoPro. Most people will have a better chance at being able to afford the GoPro Spherical, which should come in around 1/3 the price of the Odyssey.

Odyssey will be offered at $15,000, which includes:

GoPro and Google will work together to select content partners who will be granted access to purchase the limited-quantity Odyssey rig and showcase the full potential of 360-degree content. Those interested in participating in the LAP can sign up now through the end of the year at /Odyssey. Here's more on who they are selecting and what is included:

Clearly this is going to be for professionals and high-end operations, so I wouldn't expect there to be too many of these in the wild - which is unfortunate, especially since this looks like one of the better rigs yet. You're paying for more than just the hardware, obviously, as the software is a huge part of it. If you are accepted into the program, you'll then have to fork over $15,000 when it's available sometime this year - which is quite the sum for a rig like this. Though these are being built by GoPro, they are only being sold through an exclusive Limited Access Program, which means that you'll have to apply just to get your foot in the door to buy one. The catch here is the price and availability.

The assembler and YouTube are slated to launch later this year as the cameras become available.

An assembler that uses advanced computer vision and the computing power of the Google cloud to process the footage.

A specialized camera, the GoPro Odyssey.

Together, GoPro's Odyssey and Google's Jump platform will make it possible for anyone to experience a time or place like they're actually there - through immersive, 3D, 360-degree content. Features such as genlock camera synchronization, multi-camera control and extended battery life aim to eliminate challenges faced by content creators at the forefront of immersive content capture. Here's more from GoPro on the rig:įirst announced at Google's annual developer conference, Google I/O, Odyssey offers a 360-degree camera array for stereoscopic 3D content capture. Either way, there has definitely been a partnership between the two companies, as the Google Jump software is a big reason why this camera solution stands out. This rig was introduced at Google I/O, and while it seemed like a Google invention, it's being branded as a GoPro rig. While they do have the GoPro Spherical, the Odyssey is on a whole other level with its 16 GoPro HERO4 Black cameras, and Google Jump software. The GoPro Odyssey is the company's biggest push into VR and 360-degree videos yet.
