RealityLens - Spherical Panoramic Camera Lens

    Demonstration



RealityLens™ allows Spherical Field-of-View Panoramic Photography in a single frame.

Here's how it works:

RealityLens - Black RealityLens - White

1) Capture a panoramic scene with RealityLens

2) Build a 360 degree, spherical panoramic scene using RealityLens imagery.

3) View a panoramic scene taken by RealityLens.

RealityLens coverage is spherical.  Fisheye Lens 1 & 2 transmit two respective hemispherical images each with approximately
190 degrees field-of-view to the recording surface of the camera.  Adjacent field-of-view overlap is approximately one foot from
the RealityLens housing.  The two hemispherical images recorded by RealityLens may then be manipulated and viewed using
computer software.

 RealityLens is better because:

  • RealityLens adapter records live-action spherical field-of view video.
  • RealityLens records imagery encompassing the entire surrounding spherical scene in one shot/one frame.
  • RealityLens is adaptable to conventional high definition camcoders with non-interchangable lenses via their screw mount.
  • RealityLens is adaptable to cameras with various image resolutions.
  • RealityLens alleviates hemispherical image edge/movement mismatch problems caused by rotators.
  • RealityLens requires no repositioning between shots in order to achieve spherical coverage imagery.
  • RealityLens is a low cost solution for those wanting quality spherical panoramic imagery.

Why RealityLens is better than other panoramic camera systems:

  • Rotator Systems that use a fisheye lens only record one hemisphere at a time. And subjects at the edge of the hemisphere
    don't match up if the scene has changed by the time you rotate your camera and take the second hemispherical image.
  • Rotator Systems require two separate hemispherical images/two shots/two frames.
  • Rotator Systems require manual repositioning of the camera between shots to capture a spherical image.
  • Other spherical panoramic camera systems only mount to cameras with interchangeable lens mounts.
  • Plural back-to-back and multi-camera systems are expensive.
  • Circular/donut coverage cameras do not record the entire surrounding scene.
  • Most other panoramic camera systems are more expensive.
