Earlier this week, the wearable camera manufacturer GoPro announced that it is currently working on two latest projects - the first a virtual reality device and the second a quadcopter drone.

Quoting a report in Tech Crunch, Latin Post stated that the purported VR device will be combining six GoPro Hero cameras that would work in tandem for a singular spherical shot. According to GoPro CEO Nick Woodman, the "gauntlet was dropped" when Facebook acquired Oculus, the company manufacturing its personal VR device.

According to the report, at this point of time GoPro commenced work on a VR device.

At the same time, Woodman revealed that GoPro is also working on software that will let the users to sync their GoPro footage to the cloud automatically. Currently, the software is said to be in its alpha stages and continues to be tested out. Woodman said that this would do away the need for GoPro users to use SD cards or USB cords for uploading their footage.

Meanwhile, GoPro is also working on a quadcopter drone with a view to take aerial photos with GoPro cameras.

According to Woodman, "It seemed natural to us that we're in the GoPro enabling business and drones are the ultimate GoPro accessory ... that was all the rationale we needed to say OK. It's core enough to our business to make sense to make our own." He further claimed that the GoPro cameras will continue to be compatible with other drones.

Already, GoPro users have enjoyed making videos using GoPro cameras attached to drones and, hence, it is logical that GoPro would be making their own drone. Earlier, the Wall Street Journal had reported that GoPro was planning to make drones themselves.

While Woodman did not reveal the price on the quadcopter drone, he said it would be available sometime after the middle of 2016. On the other hand, The VR devices would be available this year.

According to Woodman, since the six-camera VR unit will be "DSLR-class," it could cost anything between $1,500 and $2,000.
