Announced in early 2016, American tech company GoPro’s highly-anticipated 360-degree virtual reality capture Omni has now been given a decided date for release by the brand which announced details such as end-to-end workflow and retail price. The camera rig, designed to hold six GoPro HD Hero 4 Black cameras, can be used for capturing seamless 360-degree footage, for virtual reality (VR) or on-screen playback. If you opt for the full package that includes six Hero 4 Black cameras, the cube-shaped metal housing, and all the hardware and software for filming and stitching the 360-degree footage, you need to shell out $5,000. Alternately, you can go for a prorated version without the cameras for $1,500. The company will start shipping preorder units on August 17.
