Nokia Technologies announced recently that OZO, the world’s first professional virtual reality camera will be used to film a live performance and real-time broadcast of the GRAMMY award winning artist P!nk at the red carpet premiere of Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass.

Today’s event is the latest in a collaboration – announced in April – wherein Nokia will provide equipment and VR technologies to support the creation of special VR content for Disney films. Most recently, Nokia and Disney used OZO to create 360 degree videos for the premiere of Disney’s The Jungle Book.

During the premiere, P!nk’s performance will be filmed by three OZO cameras. It will be then streamed live to YouTube 360 enabling fans to experience and navigate the concert through the Internet in real-time.

“OZO enables powerful experiences by transporting users to exciting new places,” said Ramzi Haidamus, president of Nokia Technologies. “Enabling fans to experience a live concert in 360 degrees, from the comfort of their homes, is an example of the immersive experiences OZO can deliver.”

“The 360 degree live video streaming event is an excellent proof point of the value of our relationship with Nokia,” said Jamie Voris, chief technology officer at The Walt Disney Studios. “The multi-camera immersive experience will allow Alice fans world-wide to participate in this exclusive event in a new and powerful way thanks to Nokia’s advanced 360 video capabilities.”

Nokia’s OZO that was launched back in November 2015, is the world’s first VR camera aimed at professional content creators.

The Live VR broadcasting solution for OZO gives viewers the ability to experience marquee events in real time from around the world regardless of their location.  The solution will be available to selected partners in Q2 2016 and broadly in Q3 2016.
