Imagine spending the time to take 36 immaculately spaced photographs and then after that mixing them in to a entirely scrollable 360-degree breathtaking image. Now imaging carrying out the expect same thing, usually instead of all that vapid work, you just toss a football-sized round in to the air.
This is just what the Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera can do. Developed by Jonas Pfeil, Kristian Hildebrand, Carsten Gremzow, Bernd Bickel and Marc Alexa of the Computer Graphics Group in Berlin, the round automates all but the real throwing.
Arranged around the round are 36 2-megapixel fixed-focus cellphone cameras. When the round is thrown, they glow concurrently at the peak of the ball's flight, capturing the stage in every citation (and inclusive the photographer). Back at the lab (or home), you lift the images off around USB and perspective them in law program created by the team.
The outcome is rather same to Google Street View, usually more spectacular. This video shows it in action:
Because all the cameras in the 3-D printed foam-padded round glow together, there is no ghosting between images. And since it is airborne, it can even glow downwards - something unfit if mounted in a tripod.
I'd admire to fool around with this. I'd moreover admire to see a video version, nonetheless the estimate entangled in stitching 360-degree cinema together might make this reduction practical. Still, these pan-able panoramas are flattering overwhelming as it is.
