The Theta S gets its intriguing spherical results by combining an intricate inner lens system that relays the imagery to two CMOS sensors. The inner construction and positioning of the lenses to achieve a spherical result rests around a dual prism system. This bends the light towards the sensors, which sit beside the lenses, rather than behind them.
