What is a prototype?
A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:
Proof of Concept
Explorations that test ideas and functionality.
Functional Prototype
Demonstrates the functionality of the final product, but looks different.
Appearance Prototype
Looks like the final product, but is not functional.
Design Prototype
Appearance and function match the final product, but is made with different manufacturing methods.
Production Prototype
Appearance, function, and manufacturing methods match the final product.
About this project

How it Works & Design Elements
Vyu360 camera and software was originally developed and tested on Arduino prototyping board.
We worked with several optics until we decided to work on a final assembly featuring two 220 degree lenses with a focal distance of 2.0 mm.
The Camera has been designed to be compact and portable. We have adopted from the beginning a minimal design approach and went through several designs before getting it right.
Our design allows for two cameras to capture seamlessly front and rear field of view simultaneously without any obstruction.
Our proprietary software merges the two frames from cameras resulting in one compiled true 360 by 360 media output.
One of the biggest challenges has been packing two large 1800mA batteries. This feature enables the camera to have extended power duration lasting up to 1 hour 30 minutes of recording time.
What is Under the Hood
The 4K Pro Cam features long lasting batteries and a powerful cortex A7 processor unleashing 4K recording at 30 fps. Note that the camera comes with 32GB of Memory included. Here are the full specs:

Meet Vyu360 Founders
Alexis and Maurizio are the founders of Vyu360, a start-up that designs, manufactures and sells Virtual Reality immersive photo & film cameras with its own iOS and Android app.
Alexis is s a photographer and the star and host of TLC’s reality tv show.
Maurizio is an engineer and product designer with over 10 years of experience manufacturing connected devices. He has a good portfolio of patents and invention under his belt.
Together, Alexis and Maurizio, have join forces in 2016 to bring you Vyu360. A venture that aims to develop hardware and software technologies to make VR recording accessible to the masses.
Risks and challenges
We've been working on Vyu360 for over 1 year and had initially intended to launch in November 2016 with a camera upgrade accessory. We have decided to hold back until we can ensure the prototype works perfectly.
In the meanwhile, we have decided to proceed with a high-end WiFi camera alternative that can help us propel into the future. We have opened the plastic injection molds last month and we are confident that we can deliver this amazing camera before the end of the Year.
With the support of our manufacturing and distribution partners, we are well prepared for the challenges ahead. We promise to be transparent and to keep our backers updated and informed about any issues that may come up and our solutions to such.
Our scope is to deliver the best possible Vyu360 4K camera into your hands ASAP. So please go back to the top of the page and support us with a pledge.

Your support helps us develop technologies that shorten the gap between virtual reality and consumer application; also it makes VR more accessible not only for tech enthusiasts but also for the average person.
By promoting Vyu360 you are not only buying a gadget you are promoting the widespread of VR Immersive technology to the masses.
VR Technology is making its impact from space travel to the advertising world but it is not yet reaching everyday people.
We believe VR is a powerful tool that can be used for training and many other personal uses. At this moment most mainstream devices are very inclusive and difficult to operate limiting capabilities of this technology.
We believe that with your help we can empower people to record and share their experiences freely with the world as it has not been possible before.
