"DoDo" is a high-quality 3D camera that is mainly used for 3D panoramic image capture of VR devices. Zhang Hao through the optimization of hardware, optical algorithms and industrial design, to provide users with a closer sense of real-life image quality, thereby reducing VR users dizziness.
At present, the company's second generation "DoDo" prototype has been developed and is expected to be officially launched in December this year. The resolution of the captured image is up to 7680x4320 pixels (8K), the frame rate can reach 60 frames per second, the price is 400,000 yuan, and the product rental price is 6000 yuan per day.
Note: Zhang Jian promised that the data in the text is correct and responsible for its authenticity. Pencil Lane has backed up short-hand recordings for short-handed recording and endorsed the content objectively.
"Okay, give me a week to think about it." After a short conversation, Huabin hurriedly left the office. Zhang Hao looked at the almost unmoving glass on the table and couldn't help worrying. “Huabbin is the last suitable technology partner if he doesn’t agree with what to do...â€
A week later, Huabin confirmed to join, "all are technology" 6 core team announced the completion of the formation. Prior to this, Zhang Hao was responsible for the development of intelligent camera modules at Intel Corporation. Due to the financial pressure on the project, under the proposal of the company, Zhang Hao left Intel to start an independent business. The initial team of six people are all former “brothers†working together.
In February last year, Zhang Hao officially launched the "DoDo" project. Three months later, he got the angel round investment of the Bank of China Capital. The company focuses on the development of high-quality 3D panoramic cameras, which are mainly used for 3D panoramic image acquisition of VR devices.
â—† Zhang Jian is checking the 3D panoramic camera. Can you see how many lenses this device has in total?
"VR equipment caused vertigo, a major reason is the picture quality is not perfect." In order to enhance the picture quality, Zhang Hao optimized the product from three aspects of hardware, optical algorithms and industrial design.
The 3D panoramic camera forms a 3D panoramic image by stitching multiple lenses at different angles. "So more shots are conducive to high-quality image formation." Therefore, Zhang Hao upgrades the device from the original 7 heads (number of shots) to 20 mesh, evenly distributed around the device in a spherical shape, to ensure full access to 360-degree image information.
Due to the different light conditions at each lens, light irregularities appear on the machine. "For example, when you shoot Faye Wong concert with a 3D panoramic camera, the lighting effect on the stage will be very good, and the light under the stage will be dim." Zhang Jian established an optical laboratory to determine the inhomogeneity of each lens, and then combined the algorithm to make up for it. In order to ensure that the final quality of the picture shows a uniform and realistic 3D effect.
"DoDo" adopts an all-in-one solution that can achieve simultaneous acquisition of multiple images at the pixel level. In addition, through ultra-high-speed bandwidth near-lossless image processing technology, the product can achieve real-time monitoring of 20-lens lenses and 8K screen transmission. "At present, the world's top system integration company JAUNT's 3D panoramic camera product has 24 heads, but it can only monitor 8 heads at the same time."
In terms of profitability, the company will focus on leasing business in the future and provide 3D panoramic image acquisition equipment for B-end customers who produce VR content. "In the future, VR content will cover medical, sports and other industries. Tencent Sports and LeTV Sports will be our potential customers."
In August of last year, the company's first prototype product development was completed. Currently, "DoDo" captures images with a resolution of up to 7680x4320 pixels (8K), a frame rate of up to 60 frames per second, a single unit selling at 400,000 yuan, and a product rental price of 6,000 yuan per day.
It is understood that the project is launching Pre-A round of financing, plans to raise 30 million yuan, the funds will be mainly used for mass production of 3D panoramic camera products. It is expected that the company will hold a product launch in December this year and formally enter the market.
