The Lytro Immerge, which has been in development for approximately a year and a half, is a virtual reality (VR) camera system that will let users move around within scenes, according to Wired. This is in contrast to the current VR camera setups, which utilize a static 360-degree image.

"Imagine a camera staying stationary, but being able to move your head around and getting further and closer away from an object in a scene," said Lytro CEO Jason Rosenthal. "Having the reflection and the light rays adjusting accordingly. What the light field volume represents is, we're densely capturing all the rays in a given geometric volume, and then we've built software that lets us play back those rays at very high frame rates and at high resolution. It gives you the perfect recreation of the actual world you're capturing."

The Lytro Immerge will allow for six degrees of motion freedom within the light field video captured, which equates to roughly one meter, according UploadVR. Additionally, the camera will allow both horizontal and vertical parallax, meaning you'll get a feel for the depth and perspective of the scene regardless of the angle you're viewing from.

Although pricing and availability have yet to be announced by the company, the camera is set to be available early next year with both rental and purchase options, according to PetaPixel.
