Vuze 3D 360 Camera update


Vuze is the first affordable 3D 360 camera for consumers.  I will be checking it out at their CES booth (hopefully with an actual demo).  I will also inquire about whether they're on schedule for their  February release.  If there is anything else you'd like to ask about, pls. let me know in the comments so I can ask them for you!
