What is 360-Degree Camera?
360-degree camera refers to a small portable omnidirectional camera that can capture a 360-degree field view. It comprises a camera body, lower and upper mirror, aperture, glass housing, and cover. It functions by capturing an entire scene in a single shot by utilizing multiple wide-angle lenses arranged in a circular form. It is used in areas wherein extensive visual field coverage is required, such as panoramic photography, robotics, films, and vivid photos and videos. It can also film both monoscopic and stereoscopic videos to offer customized virtual reality (VR) experiences for marketing. It also finds applications underwater to create realistic content for educational and entertainment purposes. It is often integrated with smartphone-based VR headsets and placed around the sports and events arenas to enable fans to watch live games and concerts. It can also be connected to smartphones via wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth, which makes editing, transferring, post-processing, and sharing on various social media platforms easier and faster. A 360-degree camera is extensively utilized for monitoring and detecting suspicious activities in large areas, tracking the movement of people in public places and residential areas, strengthening security systems, and conducting indoor and outdoor surveillance.

COVID-19 Impact:
