This + projection room = literally relive memories.

[@HenningPaarmann]

If you make this water and fire proof (to a reasonable degree), shock resistant and traceable (you'll understand in a moment) I see a great opportunity in the market of emergency rescue services. Imagine it as a device to roll under debris, drop in holes, throw into windows, rooms full of smoke and lots of other places people need rescuing from, but you can’t get there right away. You need to get an overview, quickly. If this camera now always fell on it’s bottom side or would even start broadcasting images while falling, flying, rolling it could deliver an overview of the situation. Especially if it also were capable of infra-red view. Traceable would be a feature to help find it back in the rubble. It could start sending a tracer signal or make a noise after either activation of the tracing feature or a pre-set time. Ad a speaker and one could talk to people in the room!

[@legorigplaysmc]

Well, you will probably be going to MIT. That was honestly the smartest thing I have ever seen on anything related to the internet. That would be so useful. But then again there would probably a military and police version to check for bombs or people. But It is very smart, maybe a video version of it. And the ability to be dropped by a drone. Ok now that would be awesome.

[@epiem]

Yep, this is pretty much amazing! I can't wait to see what technology advancements come from this

[@LisnicVitalie]

Paid for panono in 2013, not recived yet

[@ViralWatchMedia]

Same, theres several articles saying its a complete failure and no backers are going to get theirs. I know a friend who plans on suing them.

[@LouisMaxBlank]

Your Denglish is hilarious.

[@JonDecker]

I love the reaction of the guy on the Segway. I really hope the software for this camera(s) has built in configurable triggering like an intervalometer, velocity sense (ie, if it get's bumped it snaps a shot), and long range (100 meters) wireless trigger. That, and ssh control for even more fun. I have visions of how to implement it into the staging at some of the experiential marketing campaigns I often work with.

[@cubworld]

So rad! I thought about something similar once but to be installed on cars. If a car gets stolen or if you just want to take a pic of an area your driving through you could take a snap shot. So cool to see gadgets like this being made! I want one!

[@rajajessonsingh387]

Now that's truly out of the box!!! Amazing

[@jhona23b]

I hope this camera in the future is sold in mexico Ill be gladd to buy one. I feel like a kid waiting for christmas :)

[@summer2011leggo]

All of my want!! Thank you creators of tomorrow!!

[@Browaway]

Wow, incorporate this into a project for holographic projection and you have an awesome combination.

[@DaveH82]

I can just imagine how amazing the photos would look if all 36 cameras were PureView cameras!

[@Cosmic_idea]

I gotta admit. This does look pretty cool :)

[@rulisecond5009]

Amazing idea... Hope this can be available on Mexico's Market Congrats for you project.

[@ZaffBox]

Just thought of something crazy. Imagine if this tech got even smaller and more robust. With enough stability and framerate developed, software could be use to stabilize the rotating footage from a football with cameras in it. Sports events could then include the ball's point of view. Though, it would affect the balance of the ball so probably wouln't happen under highly competetive environments. Still, this is pretty cool tech!

[@flatshade]

And contributed. =) Will buy several of this on release for our studio. Should be useful for doing some 360° Image/lighting probes quickly.

[@jackskulten]

Finally, an invention that is good enough for my Asian tourist mother.

[@rolandkoch6820]

Werde mir wahrscheinlich eine solche Kamera kaufen wenn ich mir das leisten kann. Bin von den Bildern begeistert.

[@JohnGilmore]

Great product. I can take photos like this with my phone but it takes a long time. The ball camera can take the photo quick

[@Suyalus]

This is amazing! I really love this idea. I would totally buy it immediately!

[@reynaldoalipio2894]

To those camera addict and picture slave. This is good for you. The idea is great and awesome.

[@CamShaft200]

Great idea!

[@alcawmk]

I will own this one day! Absolutely fantastic!

[@lisasmith5714]

Interesting enough...

[@TheRealEpicFace.]

So,do you own one now? haha

[@StavrOgnev]

After commercial success of this thing, you just need to make a next step: reproduce the gadget with every camera become stereo. So, this allow your software remove those annoying flattening of any volumetric object, when observer rotating visualizing device (or his head, if use Oculus-Rift-like helmet).

[@TiborRoussou]

Catching many details, instantly! A neat idea : )

[@toybikex]

what were looking for is a camera ball that can be control by smart phone capable of video chatting with speaker inside. So the communication is not just by smartphone camera or laptop.

[@Tio_Remi]

I cant wait for 360 video capture and awesome movies with it

[@danij.b.1016]

la amé!!!! quiero una ahora ya!

[@lontarus]

This + occulus rift = GOLD

[@Johncarpar]

AWESOMEEEEE *-* Alike this Cameraaaaaaaa

[@Miojota]

Is it for photos only, or it could make videos too? If this camera can make videos, it's gonna be simply the best invention EVER! Keep up with the good work guys ! :D

[@L3gion3r]

If you attach several microphones and make it record videos, you would be able to make the first 360 degrees real time videos. It would be awesome! Imagine descending towards Titanic and you could look at every possible direction at any time seamlessly without loading each videos separately. That could change cinema and movie making as well (although, movie devs should find ways to hide the crew that hold the cameras).

[@L3gion3r]

I can imagine all that taking baby steps the same way cell phones, cars, and what not took baby steps throughout the history. Nothing is impossible as long as you are determined.

[@beastdude]

love this idea, although i'd have a problem of accidently spinning it when throwing, like a fast back hand basket ball type spin. also i'd want to throw it really high, or even swing it around on a string, down a ski run to my friend, into water (if there's a waterproof version, or a waterproof case like the go pro's have), or even when sky diving and/or bungie jumping (well, not me but other extreme sports people.) or even have it as a 'pet'/dog toy with wireless remote activation of the cameras with the click of a button, could take many action shots like that. would there be a video version where you can record video footage? although that would take up way more space than a picture. the possibilities with this, it's only just started.

[@TingSterCNX]

Wow. Impressive!!

[@BigMTBrain]

Need to make it video and playable in surround on Oculus Rift or other VR headset. Make it realtime capture with the necessary client/server bits... VOILA!... realtime surround telepresence. THAT will be the killer VR app, and THAT will change the world of communication as dramatically as the telephone or modern chat.

[@breaktube]

wow...now we can really catch them all !!

[@BPSKCMO79]

This is amazing.

[@TheBigBosnian]

Is it possible to make 360 movies with this? And are you planing to implement that option in the future?

[@sjcb]

If I preorder and you don't reach your funding goal, what happens? Will I still receive it or will my money be lost or will I get a refund? Thumbs up for an answer!!!!

[@ageofinformation9264]

You KNOW people are going to throw this as high as they can.. and it might not land on something soft like grass... hope it's going to be tough ;) Great idea guys!

[@merchantxix]

i feel like while interesting theres an aspect of the candidness. i'd like to see a version using video and quadcopter tech.

[@malcolmelvey]

What a wonderful product for real estate brokers

[@brendanr1525]

Malcolm Elvey Maybe, but the person who takes the picture will also always be in the panoramic image, no matter how they hold it or where they stand; not preferable or professional looking. Unless there is a timed photo option.

[@brahsumatra]

Real estate agents can use this when putting details on a property online, the police could use this investigating a crime scene the potential of this is endless. You should bring the Panono on the Shark Tank or Dragon's Den to secure investors and exposure..

[@victorzhaoo]

What if you don't throw it straight up? Or what if wind pushes it away from being stable?

[@JeffreyBarkdull]

Maybe in the next version can Take videos, be The size of a golf ball and could be used in golf, That would make very good Shots in

[@mikemcgettigan]

I need like...I dunno... five of these!

[@LoneCoolBeagle]

Now I want to see a half dome version that takes/transmits video mounted onto a drone.

[@flyinlo1474]

I just received my Panono and there are things that people need to know about the Panono. 1. The firmware has not been updated in almost 8 months (middle of 2017). 2. It does not write the GPS exif data for street view final photos. 3) It does not have any type of time lapse feature!! So whether you want to put it on a stand and take an actual time lapse or fly it with a drone and take photos every 2-3 seconds, you can't do it. For the price of the camera you should get a selfie stick but you have to pay $40 bucks for that. Maybe someday these problems will get fixed but right now it is a toy camera with high resolution that is way over priced. EDIT: And I forgot to mention that they have disabled registration in the user forum. Not sure if that is temporary or due to other problems, but when I tried to register I get a message that the "admin has disabled this feature".

[@garystinten9339]

this needs to go up into space. now we need one with zoom to analyze areas of space like a room so you can centre the ball in a room and zoom to the corner for example.. perhaps add in sdd slot into camera and be able to record video.

[@garystinten9339]

make it multiple cameras from different countries at the same time. see what videos you can get. even tie a piece of fishing wire onto them so you don't lose them out at sea..

[@Mr80Classic]

I love it. I saw it on the News A few days ago. So how much will it cost? I see it will comeout sometime July this year.

[@needvalenzuela9483]

Great!!!!!! t is a very good invention....

[@hardcorevids6]

That's amazing what a great idea :D

[@honzachylik3578]

Great, it is hard to believe we are getting this sci-fi gadget already in 2014.. ... BUT ... What about the wi-fi transmitter? Or at least a slot for eye-fi card?

[@Politonium]

Hallo Jonas, ich hätte da mal drei Fragen: 1. Warum kostet der Ball in der Vorbestellung 549€ und in USD ebenfalls 549 2. Wie stabil ist der Ball. Sprich wenn ich ihn mal fallen lasse, hält er was aus oder ist dann alles vorbei? 3.Kann man den Ball auch vor Ort in Berlin abholen? Vielen Dank schon mal im Voraus.

[@traineverywhere9414]

I would love to see it in a tornado. I was always interested how it looks like to be in it :)

[@j4k154]

This is really great idea and implementation, but I would really like to see what happens if ball is dropped on concrete floor from 10 meters high.

[@FeMarques22]

Great Idea =]

[@PeterLiu]

hi! could this recording video?

[@HogueraHogue]

Gran bel #giocattolo ;)

[@hughjeremy9795]

Imagine going bushwalking/hiking with one of these things. Traditional cameras create beautiful images, but by their nature they can never capture the 'sense of place' - Yes a traditional camera might always produce a better image with respect to technical accuracy: White balance, resolution, dynamic range... But the Panono is producing a different type of image, an image that allows you to step into a whole scene. Having had the chance to use one with the iPad app, I can attest to the power of the experience. Very much hoping this thing gets funded!

[@Krill2404]

The onlything i can say is awesome

[@SeitanSaidDance1]

Looks interesting. Is it at all waterproof?

[@unfortunatewitnessX]

People, buy this camera! You'll be glad you did. The link to Panono's web site is in the description box.

[@falmatrix2r]

interesting point of view for playing soccer...

[@imryansuckit]

That's awesome

[@roybradiley3412]

Looks gr8 what one

[@ChristopherNichols]

Love this idea.... I only wish there was one that did a true HDR as well with at least 13 stops of latitude to be used for Image based lighting. I would buy that SO hard. PS... I am a bit tired of every commercial now looking like a google/apple commercial with a white background and music that sounds like it is coming from a baby's room.

[@JensZalzala]

Would it help if the commercial also featured people who look like they're having fun?

[@danielbuck]

thought of this years ago, should have acted on it. :-\

[@calo70]

Will it do underwater photo or video?...Scuba!

[@espict]

I'd love to have one of these to make HDRI pano-spheres for VFX work. I assume the tablet or phone can manually control the exposure/shutter speed/etc. settings if you want?

[@leoGermany]

WOW guys!!! Its really amazing. What's the official price?

[@amsterdope]

Super cool, but kinda sucks to drag around with you on vacation. One day in the future you'll make a pocket sized one- with maybe a few less cameras, but higher resolution. OR, a clip on/ strap on version which you can slide over the eye of your camera lens on your mobile phone - with micro USB plug and instantly save the image(s) to your SD-card/ internal memory. Just throw your phone up and PRESTO! Endless possibilities.

[@ChrisBech]

A classic case of: "Shut up and take my money!"

[@ArunKumarAK17]

i like the idea about the 360° camera, in fact i too had a vision about creating a 360° camera. If you guys willing to take any ideas i have an idea for making it better.

[@hannahparas4564]

can u print the pictures?

[@lordrampage]

I WANT THIS CAMERA SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!PLEASE !!!

[@MrSidTaylor]

Combined with the Oculus Rift headset this will give true virtual reality movies where the viewer appears to be wherever the camera was.

[@brazwen]

Imagine how big the JPEG file would be. Considering this is a unique camera, it'll probably have it's own picture file type and a software to access those files.

[@eyyada8369]

Hello : can i know when this camera will be available so i can order one ,and i just want to know what is the extension of pic that will be exported to the PC , basically i want to take Pic then upload it to my website

[@magazinetodayelizabeth8230]

Érdekes .biztos lesz olyan, aki igényt Tart rá.Mindannyian oda vagyunk ,szép Panorámás felvételekért ,akár kültéri -akár beltéri .Legfeljebb bent nem kell ,Olyan magasra Feldobni. Annyiból térbeni kamera Nevet is ,kaphatta .Egy golyó ,és egyszerre Több irányból készít felvételt ,mosolyogj .amúgy jó.

[@daniel123teso]

What happen if you can not catch it and it hits the floor? I mean: How much hits can it support at an average height?

[@shotergdgd]

amazing !!!!

[@lindareadman573]

It would be cool to put this Panono onto a GPS drone!

[@ChristianTheodorus909]

it support capture video?

[@nashriquez]

So If your indiegogo reach the goal you will start mass production ?

[@mabehal-zuqyadeek4601]

Will there be a possibility in the future to film in (at least) full HD - 60fps with the Panono (something like a Bublcam on steroids)?

[@fudeldideldu]

Put a Gyroscope in it, and lets make it shot several high speed pictures while parabolic throwing and let a PC render a 3D-model out of it. Based on the gyroscope data and the pictures

[@alansandoval8910]

Is it water resistant?

[@drkastenbrot]

Now that is one FOV

[@heylliott]

J'adore

[@djthreedeafsrobot6657]

WoW how much in a camera resolution I will be ultrapixel really cool ?

[@ProteinUser]

i really like the idea but tbh its not an "i would use it often" object and i guess the price will be at a level where one cant just buy it like that. I for myself dont see enough moments of use to make it worth buying. Maybe to make it more versatile they should add an option to take a video/snapshot from one of the many cameras built inside.

[@guiterphone]

How about making an animation movie using the photos taken by PANONO??

[@danvatrance]

!Donde la compro¡

[@DevilGodMan]

You should work together with GoPro.

[@DuarteChannel87]

And if it falls on the floor?

[@KohlieVarak]

Geile Sache!!! German Engineering ftw.

[@MiguelEduFlores]

I live in Chile , and Need one of them , I can buy it ? .. how ?

[@tabrezsk3399]

whats the cost of it

[@illam11]

What is the current update

[@chanceturcotte]

Needs video for Occulus Rift Immersion. There are many 360 cameras on the market, but no 360x180 that could accomplish this. This device could be a first... Imagine watching a video you can look at in any direction in VR? This product is underutilized in its current state. I also could hardly see myself using this to take photos.
