Facebook's open-source hardware and software system for capturing and rendering stereoscopic 3D 360-degree video for VR viewing. It includes camera hardware designs, a Linux desktop app for camera control, and rendering software for converting raw captures into VR-ready formats.

Use cases

  • build a stereoscopic 3D 360 camera for VR
  • render raw 360 camera captures into VR-ready video
  • control a multi-camera rig to record 360 footage
  • study open hardware designs for VR camera rigs
  • test 360 rendering pipelines with sample datasets

When to choose

  • you want to build or operate a stereoscopic 360 camera rig for VR content
  • you need reference software for stitching and rendering 3D 360 video
  • you want open hardware designs plus matching capture and render software

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software with recent updates and support
  • you only need simple 360 video stitching from consumer cameras
  • you are not prepared to build custom hardware or work with raw binary capture formats
