Germany: 360 ball-camera 'Panomo' the perfect selfie machine?

Bjorn Bollensdorff, CEO and co-founder of Panono, presented a new panoramic camera, Wednesday, in Berlin. Bollensdorff showcased the capabilities of the new camera by throwing it into the air and plugging it onto a stick. Panono has 36 cameras built-in, with each camera providing three megapixels, which in total makes 108 megapixels. It captures 360 degrees high-definition panoramic pictures. The new gadget will be available for purchase in September. The entrepreneur praised the camera as the perfect gadget for selfies and expressed confidence that 'Panono' will revolutionise photography. "If you think about it, there is no reason why there should be a limitation to a certain angle that you take a picture of. Your head does not have that limitation," he argued. Panono GmbH was founded by Bjorn Bollensdorff, along with his fellow students Quian Qin and Jonas Pfeil, after presenting the first 'Panono' prototype at computer graphics conference SIGGRAPH Asia in 2011.
