For years, panoramic photos have been the prerogative of Reflex cameras and a good amount of work to connect different points of view in a coherent image: with Panono things change.
This project is developed according to totally different criteria: it is a sphere equipped with 36 micro-cameras capable of instantly photographing the entire field of view, creating real "spherical" compositions with an enormous resolution of 72 megapixels. You can throw it just like you would a ball, and trigger it seconds later. Initially developed as a prototype already two years ago, Panono has been progressively miniaturized in subsequent versions.
His development team led by Jonas Pfeil, student and researcher, he is now looking to derive a release that favors mass production, raising funds through a crowdsourcing platform.
The fundraising campaign aims to market a model costing around € 500 and will end in January 2014. Here is the link for more info: and the inevitable video :)
