The Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera, creates and combines 360 degree photos all with just one shot. The device uses 36 (2 megapixel) cell phone camera modules mounted in a padded sphere to snap a 360 degree panorama. After the device is thrown up into the air, an accelerometer enables it to trigger exposures at the highest point to capture a full 360-degree view, the ball automates everything but the actual throwing. The images can be downloaded using USB and automatically shown in our spherical panoramic viewer. This lets users interactively explore a full representation of the captured environment.
There is no word on the price or when its going to be available in the market, however the ball’s components are very cheap; it could have a retail price of under $100.
Apart from the device being amazing, it comes so cheap! I'd really consider buying one if it was on the $100 – $150 range.
I would too! I just wish they improve the pixels a bit. 🙂
now that is amazing.
I can see it has a lot of uses. really clever.
Yeah .. Love it!
