Facebook on Tuesday unveiled a high-quality 360-degree 3D camera suitable for creating virtual reality content. The Facebook Surround 360 system, which made its debut at the F8 developers conference, includes a production-ready camera — which costs about $30,000 to build and looks like a flying saucer from a science fiction movie — and software for controlling the camera and for stitching and rendering what the camera captures. “We wanted to create a professional-grade end-to-end system that would capture, edit and render high-quality 3D-360 video,” said Facebook’s Brian Cabral.
