iPhone 360 Degree Panoramic Video Lens |
With almost all mobile phones like the Apple iPhone now sporting
digital cameras of their own, it seems that the digital cameras may no
longer be the choice for some people as the primary photo capturing
device. The convenience and the portability of the smartphone camera
have won over many people. And as the features and better photo
capturing quality of cameras in mobile phones develop and progress, it
might just be possible for those compact digital cameras to become
obsolete. And as the iPhone camera becomes a useful feature on the
smartphone more and more, there would be accessories like the iPhone 360
Degree Panoramic Video Lens being developed to further add to its image
capturing versatility.
The iPhone 360 Degree Panoramic Video Lens allows the iPhone camera
to capture seamless 360 degree panoramic video. It uses the same
technology that is used by the military in their surveillance cameras.
It features a lens with a curved mirror that gathers light from all
directions at the same time without the need for image stitching to
process the video or image afterwards. A free app does the work of
calibrating the focus and adjusts the exposure automatically. The lens
is removable from its protective case attachment so that iPhone users
can still use the case when the lens is not being needed. The iPhone 360
Degree Panoramic Video Lens is available at Hammacher Schlemmer for
US$80.
