Art of Technology has announced that it is showing, for the first time at Embedded World 2015, the PANONO 360° panoramic ball camera. The PANONO camera allows the user to discover a whole new panoramic, photographic experience. Throwing the PANONO up in the air generates amazing results.

With an unprecedented 36 cameras that trigger simultaneously when thrown up into the air, PANONO captures everything in every direction. Going far beyond today’s typical panoramic picture, PANONO delivers the first ever truly 360x360° spherical image.

All you have to do is throw the PANONO into the air. Those lacking in dexterity need not worry about the consequenses of a dropped catch - the casing is made of tough plastic, and the PANONO is designed to withstand falls to the ground from up to 5m.

PANONO has a built-in accelerometer which measures the launch acceleration when it is thrown up in the air. At the apex of its parabola, the 36 fixed-focus cameras fire at the same time to take a 108 megapixel, high-resolution full-spherical image - the first consumer camera to exceed 100 megapixels.

With PANONO you no longer have to wait until you get home and stitch together a bunch of images to see your panoramas, as they are delivered to you instantaneously in the free App. PANONO’s images download wirelessly to a free PANONO mobile app and can be viewed on a smartphone or tablet by pointing the device in any direction. You can also pinch or expand the image to explore more detail and find things the photographer might not even have noticed when taking the shot.

Be one of the first to own a PANONO by taking part in a draw, sponsored by Art of Technology, at Embedded World in Nuremberg. To take part just leave your business card (Hall 2, Stand 2-356).
