Omicam
Omicam
In order to come up with the perfect wearable VR camera, countless hours of testing and refining took place. You may have seen us on Kickstarter as MySight360 a few months ago. That’s us! We took feedback from many of our customers and decided to come up with a more user-friendly name – OmiCam!

We wanted to create an user-friendly camera where users like you can record on the go, and capture all the moments without the use of expensive gimbals or rigs.

Our approach was simple. Create a VR camera easy to use and better than the competition. We’ve spent numerous hours and resources perfecting our OMI technology – the Optical Motion Intelligence.

The patented Optical Motion Intelligence technology stitches video from different angles to image correct a shaking video. Because we film with a 240 degree field of view, we can capture images from above, below, plus the sides and stitch to a stable video.

Easily recognized by their customizable police motojackets and car liveries, Polizei 144 dominated races and rallies like the Gumball 3000 and Bullrun from 2003 to 2007, after which Roy led the effort that shattered the Cannonball Run record by over an hour.

Featured Charities

LA Animal Rescue
LA Animal Rescue
LA Animal Rescue’s mission is to change the end of the story for all of the homeless and abandoned animals we meet by practicing the 3 “R’s”: Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Rehome. No Pet is denied access based on breed, age, health or size. We do not dwell on their past or judge the people involved in their circumstance. Our goal is to usher them forward, change their course and provide their happily-ever-after.

We educate the community on the importance of spay & neuter. Animal overpopulation is our priority. The root of the problem and the key to change is to Spay & Neuter.

Orange County Pit Pull Rescue
Orange Country Pit Bull Rescue
Orange County Pit Bull Rescue (OCPBR) is a non-profit organization formed in 2010. Founder Rebekah Yusko had envisioned a Pit Bull specific rescue and advocacy organization to build more of a centralized effort that focused on the breed. There are too many Pit Bulls in Orange County that are dying in shelters or languishing in “no-kill” facilities. OCPBR grew out of the need to save these dogs and give them the second chances they deserve. Our current President Christine Bonner continues our mission today, we are focused now more than ever on not only rescue work, but advocacy, education, community outreach and owner support.

Our organization has a small group of foster homes that are experienced with the breed and can offer them the care they need in order to thrive. All of the dogs are rescued from shelters or as strays and stay in loving foster homes until they are adopted. We focus on quality over quantity with our adoptions. While we want to rescue as many dogs as we can-we’re not about numbers. We want to be comfortable with our placements and proud of the homes we give our dogs.
