(shown in Figure 2). The camera contains eight
lenses, pointing in four directions. Lenses are six
centimeters apart to duplicate the average distance
between a human’s eyes. Since the Vuze camera
uses eight lenses to capture 360-degree 3D footage,
there were circumstances where the pictures did not
link up with one another. This happened due to
lenses interpreting lighting differently. The
software that came with the Vuze camera, Vuze VR
Studio helps to alleviate the stitching issues to a
certain degree. There were, however, cases that the
software could not solve. Better 360-degree editing Figure 4 – Navigation Hub triggered
