Challenge: Our customer created the first 360º video camera app and lens for the iPhone. Their next product launch (Kickstarter) would be a professional grade stand-alone version built from the ground up.

Project: Our customer decided that Android would be the platform for the professional version. We first ported the iOS/OpenGL app to the Galaxy S5. We ported the OpenGL code for the image processing using the Android NDK (C+ instead of Android Java) as standard Android video processing did not have the required specifications. We then migrated the Galaxy S5 app to the prototype hardware and improved resolution to 1080p. With the software completed the Kickstarter campaign commenced to provide funding for the Beta production model.

Hardware: Android Snapdragon 8974 (Samsung Galaxy S5), Intrinsync Dragonboard 8074 (professional version hardware), Sony IMX 135 camera Software: Android Java, C+, iOS and OpenGL (for porting), webservices
