Nokia, at an event in Los Angeles last Tuesday, has announced a virtual reality camera for the movie industry that can capture 360-degrees panorama videos. The camera is named, OZO and is a straight competition to the GoPro’s 360-degree camera.

The OZO is a spherical camera and has eight lenses and eight microphones which can shoot in 360 degrees both sound and video. The video which is captured using this OZO can be played using compatible headsets i.e. VR headsets. Users can look around, while wearing the VR headset, to see the captured panaroma and hear the changes in sound too.




The President of Nokia Technologies, Ramzi Haidamus, said at the event:

We’re thrilled to introduce OZO to the content creation world, and to define a completely new category of virtual reality capture and playback solutions. OZO aims to advance the next wave of innovation in VR by putting powerful tools in the hands of professionals who will create amazing experiences for people around the world.

Nokia also informed that the camera will be built in Nokia’s home country, Finland and will launch later this year after the final testing of the camera.

Review: Micromax YU Yufit Fitness Band



Wearable tech is been around for quite some time now but it has not gained any attention from the common man. This may be because of high cost of this wearable which common man thinks as too much to buy. The wearable tech was brought to us by Nike, Apple and Fitbit. the cost of this was very high.

But last year MI got market to surprise by launching a fitness band for just 999. This made common man think of a wearable tech. So now, we have a new smartphone venture in the market named YU. They launched their first phone YU Yureka last year and it was a success. you can check our review of Yu Yureka here. Then they came up with a new low budget phone with very good specs named YU Yuphoria. And now they launched there fitness band against the Mi fitness band.

This YU Yufit band is a fitness band with all the features which anyone wants in a fitness band plus to add on to it it has a OLED display which makes it superior over MI band. They also launched two companion apps with this Yufit band.

Pros:

  • Indian calories counter
  • Light weight build
  • Low cost
Cons:
  • Battery life(as compared to others in the market)
  • Less accurate readings



Now, the most important verdict. If we compare it with the competitor i.e. Mi band we can say that its just that Yufit band has a Display which displays time and other important things. We can sum up all the discussion in a line as that in some areas it’s better than MI band but  in some areas it lags far behind(less accurate readings)! So if you are a person who wants more accurate readings then go for MI band and if you want a more stylish band with display go for Yufit. Make your choice properly, both are worth buying. Thank You.
