在剥离了手机业务后，来自芬兰的前手机皇者诺基亚正在规划新一轮的业务帝国。除了保留下来的的Here地图业务外，诺基亚在7月29日正式公布了最新的产品OZO虚拟现实相机。这是诺基亚放弃手机制造业务后发布的首个硬件设备。
诺基亚OZO相机是一款支持虚拟现实录制的相机，诺基亚称其为第一款市售的虚拟现实相机，采用圆球形状的机体设计，配有8个同步全局快门传感器和8个内置麦克风。使用该设备可以拍摄三维立体影像和记录8个方向的空间音频。

通过特别设计的软件，可以在录制的过程中实时查看3D画面，而无需先拍摄全景照片。诺基亚OZO虚拟现实相机打破了传统虚拟现实录制的瓶颈，即普通设备需要后期渲染360°，前期只能180°实景的尴尬，在过去如果我们需要身处一个虚拟现实环境中，通常只有180°的视角范围，部分场景经过后期处理后才会有360°的范围。如果未来采用诺基亚OZO来录制的话，即可以直接生成360°实景，因此时间时间成本将会大大降低。另外，值得一提的是诺基亚OZO支持市面主流的虚拟现实显示设备和工具，可玩性更高。

实际上诺基亚OZO的到来也许恰逢其时。虽然人们对虚拟现实和虚拟现实头戴式设备的兴趣越来越高，但是现有设备很少能够轻松创建虚拟现实内容的，在售的就更少了。三星有360°3D摄像机Project Beyond，谷歌有联合GoPro发布的Jump，但除此之外，就没有多少虚拟现实相机可选了。 目前该设备由诺基亚研究和发展实验室打造，将会在芬兰制造，目前还在试产阶段，具体售价和发售日前尚未公布。未来将面向专业电影制作商、传媒、广告公司和其他的内容提供商所设计。

The Trend of Virtual Reality Technology Nokia Launched its OZO 8-lens Camera
After left the mobile phone business behind, the former Finnish mobile phone king Nokia is planning a new business empire now. In addition to the preserved HERE Map business, Nokia officially announced the latest product OZO virtual reality camera on July 29. This is the first hardware device released by Nokia after giving up its mobile phone manufacturing business.
Nokia OZO virtual reality camera supports virtual reality recording. Nokia regarded it as the first commercially virtual reality camera. With the ball-shaped body design, Nokia OZO camera equipped with 8 synchronous shutter sensors and 8 built-in microphones. This product can be used for taking three-dimensional images and recording 8-directions spatial audio. Thanks to the specially designed software, users can also view real-time 3D graphics in the recording progress, without having to take panoramic pictures first. Nokia OZO virtual reality camera breaks out the limitation of traditional virtual reality recording——ordinary devices require a 360° post-rendering process because in prophase stage the ordinary devices can only scan an 180°review angle，part of the scene needs a post-processing to achieve a 360°rang. If the Nokia OZO virtual reality camera can be used in the future, 360°real time scene can be generated directly, as a result, the cost of time cost will be reduced greatly. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Nokia OZO virtual reality camera supports the mainstream virtual reality display equipment and tools in the market, which will provide more possibilities and more pleasure.
In face, may be the arrival of Nokia OZO virtual reality camera meets the right time. Although, people are getting more and more interested in virtual reality and virtual reality headsets, to be frank, until now, only very few existing devices could create virtual reality contents easily, let alone the devices for consumers. Samsung launched its 360°3D camera Project Beyond before, and Google also released the Jump with GoPro, but beyond that, there is nearly no other alternatives in the virtual reality camera marketing. The Nokia OZO virtual reality camera is development by Nokia research and development lab, and will be manufactured in Finland. Currently, the devices are still in the trial production phase, Nokia haven’t announced the specific price and the date of sales-debuts. In the future, Nokia OZO virtual reality camera will provide hardware supports and software solutions for professional filmmakers, media and advertising agencies.
