Ricoh Imaging Americas announced that it has received the CES 2016 Best of Innovation Award for digital imaging for its Ricoh Theta S 360-degree camera.
The camera is the first 360-degree spherical camera that captures a scene in a high-resolution photo or video. It can take pictures with 14 megapixels and records HD video at 30fps with a maximum recording time of 25 minutes. The high-quality images are made possible by an enlarged image sensor and fast F2.0 lenses, which allow more light through Ricoh’s proprietary ultra-small twin-lens folded-optical system.
Once you take pictures, you can upload them to theta360.com, and then share the images via Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler, Google Maps, Google+ and YouTube’s 360 Channel.
The camera will be on display at CES 2016 January 6-9, 2016, in Las Vegas.
