NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KOGETO, Inc. (OTCQB:KGTO) today announced that it is working to provide unprecedented panoramic video capture for the newly-released Oculus Rift DK2 with the new Joey camera. Joey is Kogeto’s newest generation panoramic camera, offering 4K 360-degree video capture and production that will enable Oculus Rift 2.0 users to experience seamless panoramic footage, taking the immersive virtual reality experience to the next level.
Kogeto, a pioneer in panoramic video technology, who launched Joey via Kickstarter on September 17, has already received more than $27,000 in funding—more than half of the $40,000 goal. The camera is the next generation of Kogeto’s 360-degree cameras, building off technology launched with its successful Lucy and Dot(TM) cameras to create the company’s most sophisticated video solution yet.
“Joey is the perfect tool to capture video content for the Oculus Rift,” said Jeff Glasse, CEO of Kogeto. “The device allows for the capture of seamless panoramic 4K footage, providing a no-compromise video capture solution for Oculus users looking for an unparalleled immersive experience. We believe that Joey is going to transform the way virtual reality content for Oculus is produced.”
The Kickstarter campaign offers Joey at an unprecedented entry price-point of $750 for the first 50 backers and then $850 for the remainder of the campaign. For more information about Joey’s applications for Oculus users and the Kickstarter campaign, please visit the newly re-launched Kogeto.com.
