The 360-degree camera you throw up in the air to take photos
The Panono camera ball takes high-resolution, 360-degree photos in a multitude of ways. Our Product Analyst Ray Wong sees how the camera works in our newest episode of Plugged In.
Panono ball
The Panono ball is a very fascinating invention. The Panono is a throwable panoramic ball camera which captures everything in every direction for amazing 108 megapixel, 360° X 360° full-spherical panoramic images. In lame terms it is a camera that can take a picture of everything around it without moving. This invention does not have a specific audience, it can be used by everybody.
When the user uses the Panono ball and the ball sends the images back to the computer, there is interaction between the user and the device receiving the pictures. The Panono ball camera could be the intermediate factor linking the user and the device that receives the picttures.
The Panono creates a stunning, full 360° x 360° panorama in a single shot. All you have to do is throw it straight up in the air. Daylight conditions are ideal for taking panoramic shots in this way. When taking pictures indoors or in low-light situations, we suggest mounting the Panono Camera on a tripod. You can trigger it remotely using the Panono app or by setting a timer. If you want to take a quick shot, simply hold the Panono in your hand and press the trigger button.
The Panono ball has WIFI included in it. It uses the wifi to send images as an instant preview to your mobile phones. The Panono can save up to 400 shots. You can then transfer them to your computer via USB or WiFi. The Panono Cloud automatically stitches the individual images of your shot together to form a seamless panorama.
below is a video of how it works:

This is an idea we have already looked at on The Cusp but it seems the Panono is just doing it a bit better than Squito. The video of these photos are just incredible. It is definitely a gimmick but one that creates some seriously stunning images. Plus, when creative people get a hold of something like this you can imagine it is only going to get more impressive.
HP needs to come to houston with this ball like NOW! :-) It'd be super fun. HP Concert Photography Camera Balls Rock!
Snapshots With Squito | The Panoramic Camera Ball Prototype | Video
Cameras come in a lot of different shapes and sizes. The traditional square/rectangle camera design is still very popular but people are stepping out of the box with camera design. The Squito Panoramic Camera Ball prototype happens to be the result of one of those innovative steps outside the box. Squito was designed by designer [...] http://dlvr.it/3f1JjH
Rotoundus: Robot Controlled Camera Ball
In what situation would you really need this? Who cares, it's a ball with cameras in it. Need I say more?
Mostly for security and such, this guy floats on water too.
The no-hassle robot
Mobile surveillance robots are supposed to cut costs. But if they keep getting into trouble and need help, they can prove to be expensive. GroundBot is unlike any other mobile robot on the market – it was originally designed to explore other planets. In other words, the nearest helping hand would have been millions of miles away. So, we had one overriding aim: to develop a robot that would be extremely reliable.
On-road, off-road and over-water
GroundBot moves through mud, sand and snow without getting stuck. Here’s how:
Keeping it light GroundBot is surprisingly light. Conventional surveillance robots, tipping the scales at over 200 kg, have a tendency to get bogged down in soft, unresisting surfaces. GroundBot weighs just 25 kg and can roll across all kinds of surfaces with ease.
Taking everything in its stride The other reason why GroundBot can handle all kinds of terrain is its sheer size. Most robots are scaled down versions of the real thing. GroundBot, with its 60 cm diameter, is slightly larger than a standard automobile tire. This means it just rolls over uneven surfaces taking them in its stride. And because GroundBot is sealed and has such a low density it can even float!
