Something I'm looking forward to seeing at CES 2014
January 3, 2014 Reading through almost a thousand emails and press releases announcing new products to check at CES, I finally found one that very different. I don't have a need for this, and it's expensive, but it sure looks VERY different. Here's the pitch email I received
Dick, I wonder if you may be going to CES next week? If so, I wanted to reach out to you regarding Panono, a throwable ball camera, which has recently announced that it has upgraded the camera modules to boost the camera from 72 to 108 megapixels.
This makes the throwable ball camera the first consumer camera to cross the 100 megapixels mark -- and they are about to close their $900,000 funding campaign on Indiegogo, possibly later today.
The ball-shaped Panono is simple to use - you throw it in the air, and at its highest point all the 36 cameras fire simultaneously to capture a richly detailed panorama of everything, in every direction, including the photographer. It is available to pre-order at a discounted price of $499 on Indiegogo.com for the next week.
Do let me know if this may be interesting to you. If so, I can set up a conversation with the founder, Jonas Pfeil, as well as a hands-on demo where you'd be welcome to try out the throwable ball camera if you wished to. Pia
