The Facebook Surround 360 is a durable and high quality 3D-360 camera system. The camera rig is comprised of 17 cameras, 14 wide angle cameras on a horizontal ring along with 1 fish eye lens on top and 2 on bottom for complete spherical coverage. Global shutter ensures that each camera captures the pixels in sync. A rugged aluminum chassis ensures that images are stable and well aligned, and the industrial cameras can run for hours without overheating. The camera should be released in summer 2016 and Facebook will be open sourcing the Facebook Surround 360 camera design and stitching code to help developers and creators unlock ideas and innovate faster to accelerate the burgeoning 3D-360 ecosystem.
