72-megapixel camera shoots the ball 360 degree panorama in flight Bashny.Net

Camera-ball, which can shoot spherical panoramas, just throwing it in the air, takes a picture at the highest point of the trajectory, focusing on the built-in accelerometer. The prototype of such a chamber was introduced two years ago. Now she brought to the stage of mass product - campaign fundraising goes on IndieGoGo

The camera, called Panono, has high impact plastic housing, threaded for mounting on a tripod and shutter release button - it can be used in three modes: throwing up, running remotely from your smartphone and set on a tripod or other mount, and just holding in your hands, if you do not need 360-degree panorama.



On the surface Panono found 36 megapixel camera with fixed focus. It weighs 300 grams and has a diameter of 11 cm. The biggest difference from the prototype Panono two years ago - in software. The algorithm for stitching images with every little camera into one big panorama resolution of 72 megapixels. Create a mobile application for viewing panoramas - panorama can be scrolled by rotating the pen tablet or smartphone, which becomes as it were, a "window" into the picture. In addition, each customer is given an account in the cloud storage for panoramas.

Panono communicates with the outside world via Bluetooth, WiFi and USB. The internal memory is enough for about 400 shots. The camera is not afraid of rain and low-energy falls from a moderate height (do not throw it with all his might, if you are not confident that you can catch it). If you throw accurately, trying to make sure that the camera does not rotate in flight, you can take panoramic pictures, even in fairly dark places. In bright sunlight, the rotation does not interfere at all.

Despite the relatively high price - $ 500 for the first 600 buyers and 550 for the rest of the campaign is going very actively and 213,000 dollars of the necessary 900,000 collected in just three days.
