Snapshots of virtual reality with Nokia camera

Nokia Technologies launched its state-of-the-art virtual reality camera called OZOin the Chinese market as a springboard for the Finnish technology group to grab opportunities brought by expanding demand from Chinese consumers for VR hardware and contents.

OZO, an eight-lens virtual reality camera for professional content creators, will be commercially available through Nokia agents in China in September, with shipments expected in October.

Paul Melin, vice-president of digital media and technology licensing at Nokia, said on Thursday he saw tremendous potential for the virtual reality camera amid China's surging use of telecast content.
