Facebook’s New 360-Degree Camera Streams Live

At Facebook’s F8 Developer Conference, the company announced a new addition to the Facebook family — and it’s not just some new emoji reactions.

Mevo

Facebook has now developed a 360-degree camera, called Mevo, that employs ultra-high resolution sensors to enable multi­-camera storytelling. The multiple-feature camera, equipped with a 150° lens, 4k sensor, and built-in stereo microphones also has live-streaming  capabilities.

With the camera’s accompanying mobile app, users can create live edits, shoot close-ups, and create cuts between shots and pan across the screen.

The camera’s automated editing technology follows the action that you’re filming with people-detection and movement tracking features.

Users can either live-stream their video, record HD videos to the included 16 GB microSD card, or share them later to YouTube and Facebook.

You can pre-order a Mevo now for $300 (original price $400). The camera comes with a universal mount for mic stands and tripods, a 10-foot USB cable to keep the camera charged, and a 16 GB microSD card to save videos.
