360 Panoramic Optic – 360 panoramic photos in one click!
My friend Timmy dropped by my office and brought this new gadget – a 360 panoramic optic!
You just install this to your lens like the way you screw in a filter.
Then you take a photo of the area with the camera in this position. The device comes with the necessary safety instructions to prevent damaging your lens/camera. You’ll be taking photos of the area with the camera in this position since the device is too heavy it can fall off and damage your lens. Plus make sure you set your camera to manual focus mode. After taking a photo of the area, you download the photo and run it through the software that came with this device. That program then makes the necessary corrections to the photo (barreling distortions) and fixes it into a 360 degree panoramic photo.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to test this device properly since Tim forgot to bring with him the installer of the program. Oh well, I’ll update this post as soon as I get to do a proper testing. 
UPDATE: Finally get to test this outside.
Here’s the image right off the camera.
Here’s the resulting image after running the image through the software that came with the device.
Here’s the resulting image after combining it with IIMAGE PANORAMA.
