A new 360-degree camera called the Dot is currently on Kickstarter, looking to make the jump from concept to production. The new Dot iPhone 4 panoramic camera has been developed by Kogeto, who currently create the Lucy camera for use in classrooms and for teacher appraisals.
The new iPhone 4 Kogeto Dot camera uses the same technology but simply clips onto your mobile Apple device. This innovative accessory allows you to snap a complete 360-degree photograph of your environment. Once captured, the photo looks a little like a donut, but put the same image through the Dot’s iPhone application, and all is revealed. Watch the video after the jump to see this great innovative camera in action.
Features and Benefits of the Kogeto Dot Camera
The Kogeto Dot camera is designed to be user-friendly and highly functional. It clips onto your iPhone 4 effortlessly, transforming your device into a powerful panoramic camera. The technology behind the Dot camera is derived from Kogeto’s Lucy camera, which is widely used in educational settings for teacher appraisals. This ensures that the Dot camera is built on a foundation of reliable and tested technology.
One of the standout features of the Dot camera is its ability to capture 360-degree videos and photos. This is particularly useful for capturing immersive experiences, whether you’re at a concert, a family gathering, or exploring a new city. The captured media can be easily shared on social media platforms, allowing your friends and family to experience the moment as if they were there with you.
Do forget is you think this is a worthy of a pledge, jump over to the Kickstarter website to make yours and help bring the Kogeto Dot camera become reality.
How the Dot Camera Works
The Dot camera works by using a specially designed lens that captures a full 360-degree view. When you take a photo or video, the image initially appears distorted, resembling a donut shape. However, the magic happens when you process the image through the Dot’s dedicated iPhone application. The app stitches the image together, creating a seamless panoramic view that can be navigated by swiping on your screen.
This technology opens up new possibilities for creative photography and videography. For instance, real estate agents can use the Dot camera to create virtual tours of properties, giving potential buyers a comprehensive view of the space. Similarly, event organizers can capture the entirety of an event, providing a more engaging and immersive experience for those who couldn’t attend in person.
