Funding Now on Kickstarter: Vyu360™ A revolutionary mobile accessory & companion app that enables your smartphone to easily capture and share 360°media.

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, June 14, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Vyu360™ a Miami, Florida, based startup company has announced a crowd-funding project on “Kickstarter” that is engaging early adopters worldwide.

Maurizio Festa, President, Co-Founder of the newly founded company, commented:” We need more affordable & user-friendly recording solutions to push VR into the mainstream. With Vyu360™ we leveraged the already powerful hardware onboard most mobile devices and implemented a twin-lens accessory to extend the smartphone 360° recording capabilities. With the state of the art software framework, we simplified the content sharing process and overall usability, making this technology closer to consumer's expectations and needs. “
Vyu360™ company objective is to develop hardware and software technologies with the purpose of making immersive 360 degree & virtual reality media accessible to the masses. Offering solutions across top mobile brands on the market and expanding compatibility with existing capturing devices, Vyu360™ aims to position its proprietary software as the universal platform for 360 degree and virtual reality media sharing.

The overall market for customer 360-degree communication and virtual reality products is immense; Revenue should reach $30 billion in 2016.

Vyu360™ potential user base: 28% of adult internet users /24% of the entire adult population ( Approximately 1.04 of 3.17 billion in 2015 ).

Some 28% of online adults share traditional pictures and videos on social network apps, a proportion that is unchanged from the 26% of online adults who did so in September 2014. App media sharing continues to be popular with non-whites and young adults: 55% of online adults ages 18 to 29 use apps to share media, as do 47% of African Americans and 38% of Hispanics. Additionally, online women continue to be more likely than online men to be sharing contents (31% vs. 24%).

There are several opportunities where Vyu360™can capture a good segment of the potential market share.

Vyu360™ developed a revolutionary mobile accessory and companion application that enables most smartphones to easily capture and share 360° media, both video, and pictures. The captured media is compiled by the application, making it easy to preview and share across multiple social media platforms on a feed the company named 360 VR time-lapse.

Vyu360™ proprietary technology offers a unique and practical solution for average consumers with little to no technical experience to record and share 360° media directly from their mobile devices. These type of products are not available on the market, few comparing products are very expensive, complicated to operated and require multi-step, post-editing process before the captured 360° media can actually be shared. 360° WiFi cameras, in fact, do not compare directly with Vyu360™ accessory but offer best comparable. 360 Cameras are connected devices that require multi-steps processing and tedious downloading and post production editing before media can be shared.

Vyu360™ allows for media to be compiled and shared on social media network with ease and natively from a smartphone device. The introductory MSRP for Vyu360™ accessories is extremely competitive projected at $79.99 for Q1 2017.

The camera upgrade is offered through Kickstarter, the crowd-funding site, at a special enticing price. The company aims to begin shipping units in November. The app will also become available for download in the same period of time, on both Google Play and the Apple Store, for free.

THE SYSTEM, HOW IT WORKS

The company patent pending system consists of a case housing two panoramic lenses that can be placed and aligned over the original front and rear cameras of any smartphones. On the software side, the app allows for users to tune lenses' accessories to seamlessly capture 360 media contents.

The accessories are made of an elastic TPU plastic housing with rigid rear and front lenses mount panels. The housing can stretch and fit any smartphone, even if enclosed inside a protective case. A lens adjustment mechanism allows for lenses to be aligned into a position which allows the accessory to become flexible and work with different configurations.
What is special about this technology is that it uses specifically engineered panoramic optics that are far more advanced than traditional wide-angle and fish-eye lenses. This approach prevents glares and unwanted distortions to capture a better quality 360° imaging directly with any smartphones.
SPECIFICATIONS

Camera upgrades functionality varies across phone models. Upgrades enable all smartphones to capture 360° pictures. To capture 360° videos with the upgrade, smartphones must be equipped with dual ISP, dual shoot capabilities. On the company website are specified supported models featuring dual shot capabilities. The list might seem limited but the company has long-term plans to expand the featuring range. Also, the App will allow connectivity with external 360° Wi-Fi cameras. This is a useful feature for an older phone with hardware limitation that does not allow for upgrades to enable 360° video recording.

Output specs for 360° videos are 15fps with 1080p HD resolution (some older models are limited to 720p HD resolution). Still Images are outputted 360 spherical media with resolution 2048X1024
