Panono wants to make 360-degree pictures as easy to take as throwing a ball into the air. Panono has created a hardened ball with 36 cameras pointing in all directions. You toss the panoramic ball camera into the air and the individual cameras take a picture at the point of highest elevation. Then you can upload the images via smartphone to servers at Panono, which stitches them into a single 360-degree image. It brings a new meaning to panoramic images.
