Leo's Turn The Table Turkey!

For this week’s TTTT Leo picked the Kogeto Dot. This strange device is a 360-degree lens that snaps onto the back of an iPhone 4. You use it to shoot 360-degrees video. As Leo showed, once you install it, you hit the video record button, and then get out of way. If you’re at a sport’s event you can record the teams and the spectators. On a road trip leave Dot on the dashboard and record your complete highway adventures. No matter what you're recording, Dot sees everything! Once you record a scene, you play it back using the special free Looker app player. The amazing thing is you can look at any part of your video; the front view, the back view, the side views ---any viewpoint in the 360 degree video that’s there. Leo showed us how he could scroll around the entire 360 view by swiping his finger on the iPhone 4 screen. You can also upload the clip to various social networks. The Kogeto Dot camera began as a teacher’s aid, as a similar much higher tech device named “Lucy”, which cost $1,000 and up. Then it became a Kickstarter project for a consumer version. It has just now entered the marketplace. Kogeto's compact and durable iCONIC lens works with just the iPhone 4/4S HD video camera and there is no need to stitch frames together. Leo said the video is certainly not HD, but it sure offers a unique 360-degree view of everything you record. Dot is a lightweight and doesn't require batteries or external power. Installation involves just snapping it onto your iPhone 4/4S. It comes with a Microfiber pouch that doubles as a lens cloth. Cost is about $80.
