Fusion: The New 5.2K VR Camera From GoPro

Earlier today, GoPro announced their newest camera Fusion. It's a 5.2K spherical camera that gives you the ability to capture every angle simultaneously.

Fusion is the ultimate capture device for fully immersive virtual reality content, non-VR video, and even photos. - Jess Foley, GoPro Senior Product Manager of Spherical Solutions

While many specs and pricing are not available yet, you can read more over on the GoPro site here.

Make sure you use the controller in the top left corner of the video or your arrow keys to actually experience the 360-degree video.
