The Panono Panoramic Ball Camera, which debuted last year in a highly successful crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $1.2 million, is making rapid progress towards market readiness. The patent-pending Panono is a grapefruit-sized, ball-shaped camera with 36 camera modules embedded all around it that fire simultaneously when the camera is thrown into the air to capture fully spherical, 108-megapixel panoramic images. Viewing Panono panoramas on a mobile device with the free Panono App offers a unique immersive experience in which viewers move through images simply by tilting their device up and down, left and right, and all around as if inside the image. Viewers can also enjoy their panoramas on their desktop, as demonstrated here in this first 108 megapixel 360° panorama taken with the final camera modules of the Panono camera. Panono has integrated attachment points for ropes so that users can hang the camera from ceilings, trees and elsewhere to offer other unique vantage points for taking panoramas. An indicator light has been added to let the photographer know whether conditions such as lighting and rotation were optimal for capturing a good quality image. A new stitching algorithm has been completed and is yielding seamless panoramas.
