No, Facebook isn’t suddenly getting into the electronics business. It’s just giving it a boost. The Facebook Surround 360 Camera is an “open” 360-degree, 3D-capable video production system that uses specialized stitching technology to weave the output of its 17 cameras together into one VR-ready stream, letting producers focus on the thing that’s most important — the content. Expect to see it on Github later this summer, where anyone can take the plans, build their own, or offer up improvements.
