Ramblings of an old Doc

 

I just saw this on the web, and figured folks might enjoy this, since so many enjoy photography and love sports.

So, what if you could give sports and many other activities a whole new angle?

How about a 360o camera ?

Take a look at what this spherical panoramic camera “sees”:

 

So how cool is that? In the future we might be watching football, soccer, baseball and basketball from the ball’s point of view!

 

Have a good weekend!

Not just sports, or sightseeing.  What about exploring dangerious places - like spluncking?  Or asssisting rescue workers in dangerious rubble (earthquake collapsed buildings) in locating safe paths to extricate trapped and hurt people?  And yes, g-d forbid, helping soldiers know whats around the corner, or in the next room when on patrol, etc.?

I can also see someone trying to throw it up 50' and then in a few seconds saying opps. It is however way to cool and thanks for showing it.

This is gong to make spying on random people so much more interesting... that is, for creepy people who do that sort of stuff. Not me, nope, so spelunking, that would be a good application for it, 360 degree view of caves that have passages you can barely crawl trough would be awesome.

This is the exact technology Mysterio was working before he went psychotic. I am glad someone is continuing his work.
