Make your smartphone livestream in 360!

Mark my words when I say that there will be a day when an Apple exec walks up on stage and says that the iPhone can shoot in seamless 360°. The future has two wide angle lenses on the front and back of phones and honestly I can’t wait for that future!

However, if you want to skip the line, the Giroptic iO HD simply sits on your phone and uses two rather massive fisheye lenses to capture your world in 360°, both in image as well as video, with seamless stitching. Not only can the iO capture images and videos in HD… it can live-stream in HD too! Designed to be a simple plug-play device, the iO can be used right out of the box along with the Android or iOS app, depending on the variant you own. Besides, the carrying case for the iO even doubles up as a rather wonderful phone stand so you can capture media in 360°, hands-free!
