去年五月 Facebook 宣布將與 RED 共同設計專業的 3D 以及 VR 攝影機，日前已在其 Facebook 360 網站公布機身影片及硬體規格！
Filming the Future with RED and Facebook 360
Last May, Facebook and RED Digital Cinema announced a collaboration to build the world’s first end-to-end solution for 3D and 360 video capture. Today, we’re excited to reveal a first-look at the Manifold camera. Read more about it here: http://facebook360.fb.com/2018/09/26/film-the-future-with-red-and-facebook-360/

Manifold 可以在特定的空間內同時捕捉多個攝影角度，並可以從視野內的任何方向生成無限透視角度，Facebook 也表示他們與 Adobe、Foundry、OTOY 等夥伴一起針對後製流程優化，讓創作者更能充分發會創意。依照 Facebook 的說法，未來這樣的攝影方式將可讓觀眾不只是「看」電影，更能置身於電影中！他們也公開了一個很酷的模擬小短片～
