Finally, a 3D camera with an integrated FOA microphone?

"In addition, the ambisonic 3D sound capture capabilities of Orah
enable the viewer of the content to locate the origin of the sound
source with a VR headset, bringing the feeling of immersion to a
stunning new level."
https://www.orah.co/ :
Looking at the pictures and captions, it says: "Immersive Sound, Four
high dynamic-range microphones for ambisonic 3D sound". The capsules
(or mems?) look soldered on the sides of PC boards, listening through
holes.

Some related article, with some additional background information:
http://www.roadtovr.com/videostich-unveils-orah-4i-one-livestreaming-4k-360-camera/
"I got to see a functional build of VideoStich’s new camera up close.
Although the unit isn’t yet sealed, it was fully functional, including
livestreaming. "
Boasting 4 channel ambisonic sound with 4 on-board microphones, the
Orah 4i is hoping to make an impression with a growing number of 360
content creators that demand "a bare minimum of positional audio" in
their videos,
(whatever this means... ;-) )
* 4096×2048 H.264 High Profile (4K)
* 30 fps
* 4 Channel Ambisonic @ BFormat
* 100% anodized precipitation-hardened aluminum housing
* 80 x 70 x 65 mm 480g or 3.1 x 2.7 x 2.5 inches 17 oz
The aimed price range seems to be very competitive for a professional
product in this market. (I am not trying to promote anything, just to be
clear..)
Kind regards,
Stefan
P.S.: Obviously they record in B format, like everybody else using a SF
mike... (so, no "YT FOA format", or alike.)
... convenience factors, like built-in image stabilization and its
automatic post-processing function which goes through the supplied
‘stitching box’, a dedicated mini-computer designed to polish up the
video for livestreaming that then outputs equirectangular video, or
the same format used by Facebook, Youtube, Vrideo, Littlstar,
Bitmovin, and others.
