GoPro is now selling its crazy 16-camera virtual reality rig

The wild, behemoth 16-camera virtual reality rig that GoPro announced at Google's IO conference is officially called "Odyssey," and is now available for purchase.br But it is not for everyone.br It costs $15,000, and only "professional content creators and producers" will be allowed to buy it - after they submit an application.br That price tag might make your eyes spin, but it does cover a good amount of equipment.br Buying an Odyssey means you get 16 of GoPro's top-of-the-line Hero 4 Black, a microphone, the rig and all the necessary cables, a Pelican case to carry it all in, as well as a warranty and support.br Odyssey is the first camera rig built specifically for Google's Jump platform, which was also announced at this year's IO conference.br Jump is an entire virtual reality ecosystem that, in theory, will make it easier to both create and consume VR content.br Eventually, Jump videos will be hosted in YouTube; think of it as the next logical step following YouTube's inclusion of 360-degree videos earlier this year.
