It was back in July 2015 that Nokia first announced the Ozo VR camera, a device that sported eight synchronized shutter sensors and microphones for stereoscopic three-dimensional video.

In a statement, Nokia said: "We have decided not to continue with our efforts for developing an innovative new type of mobile camera.
