Our Goal
Imagine watching a football game broadcast and being able to follow your favorite player all the time. Imagine a bride being able to "turn around" in her wedding video and see her parents' faces the moment the officiant says, "I now pronounce you husband and wife"!
GoPano's technology brings a new angle to making videos. By freeing the video from the single perspective of a conventional camera, you can interact with the video in a way never before possible. We strongly believe that 360º video will become as important in broadcasting as sound was to silent movies or color television was to black & white.
While we've offered 360º video products for years to professionals, GoPano micro is our first step in making panoramic video technology accessible to the masses.
With Your Help.
We want your help to make GoPano micro a reality. We have a working prototype and the essential software ready. A web platform to host 360º interactive movies is on its way. We are requesting your support to make this product a commercial reality. Support us on Kickstarter, tell your friends and spread this idea. And yes, you don't have to stick to the tiers, please feel free to contribute any amount.
We are very thrilled with this new project. We hope with your support we can make this technology- The technology of the future!
* Today, the GoPano micro optic is compatible with the iPhone 4 only. With the success of this project, we will broaden this technology to include more smart phones, mobile devices and cameras.
Project location: Pittsburgh, PA
There are quite a few panoramic apps for the iPhone but they all require a steady hand, lots of patience and, most important, you can only take still photos. The GoPano aims to solve that by adding a panoramic mirror to the iPhone’s video camera, thereby allowing you to take panoramic video in real time.
The GoPano simply snaps onto your iPhone and the included app does the rest. As you record, you can turn the panorama by swiping the screen to shoot what you want as it happens.
The lad who made it, Michael Rondinelli, filmed much of the footage on the green fields of Carnegie Mellon University, my alma mater, so I have a special place in my heart for this charming young nerd and his panoramic lens – for I was once like him. He needs $20,000 to Kickstart it and for a $50 pledge you get one of your very own. It’s a clever idea for artistic types and folks who, like me, may want to shoot panoramic before and after shots of their Dexter-esque “fun” rooms.
