Earlier this week we heard about the Spectacam, a “two-directional” that could be mounted on the helmet. The idea of that one was to record information in case of an accident. But Oregon Scientific have a similar camera system in mind, except that this concept is for getting two different perspectives at once, and merging it into a split screen display.
The ATC Chameleon features two 170-degree lenses, which are located at opposite ends of the camera body. Each one can be rotated by hand up to 180 degrees, so one could pan horizontally when the other tilts vertically. The processor combines the information from each 720p resolution camera. The information can be divided either vertically or horizontally as selected by the user. Each camera lens features frame rate of 30fps, and the device can run for up to two hours on a charge. The footage is saved directly to a MicroSD memory card as well.
This system doesn’t feature an LCD screen and reportedly there is no wireless connectivity, so it could be a little tricky to ensure you get the right shot but with this camera system there is twice the chance!
