Jeffrey Martin writes, "I have been working for the last couple of years on this camera, and we have launched today on Kickstarter. It is a beautiful, small device (the size of a tennis ball) with six cameras that make a 4K-resolution, 60fps, spherical video."
Jeffrey sez, "Our esteemed interplanetary panorama enthusiast, Andrew Bodrov, has done it again (previously, this time being the first to stitch a 360 from the new Chinese moon lander!
Jeffrey sez, "The renowned 360 photographer Andrea Biffi has posted complete instructions for building your own Nixie Tube clock, even including how to etch your own circuit board.
While the process seems to be slightly more difficult that 'total noob' difficulty (also, with nixie tubes, hazardous voltages are involved, so be careful!), — Read the rest
Jeffrey sez, "360Cities' intrepid member Andrew Bodrov, stitching master of interplanetary awesomeness, has constructed this composite image (i.e. 'fake view') of the Curiosity Rover at night under the Milky Way. You can even see Phobos, Mars' own moon in the night sky." — Read the rest
Jeffrey from 360 Cities sez, "I am one of the world's most obsessive and fanatical 360 photographers. So when this weird looking dual-fisheye Theta 360 Camera came out, I hunted high and low for how to get a sample in my hands as quickly as humanly possible. — Read the rest
Jeffrey sez, "I spent the last 4 months stitching 48 THOUSAND images together into a single panorama which lets you see things up to about 15 miles away.
This image is about 4 times larger than the previous world record image, a 114-gigapixel image of Shanghai (at the time incorrectly labeled as 271 gigapixels)
The panorama was shot from the top of BT Tower, using 4 cameras, lenses, and robots for moving the cameras. — Read the rest

360Cities member and Impossible Panorama master Nico Roig created this panorama inside a washing machine."
Jeffrey from 360 Cities sez, "Fresh from the Rover! Our member Andrew Bodrov stitched this interactive version of the 360º photo from Mars together. Be sure to go FULLSCREEN for the maximum awesomeness."

Jeffrey from 360Cities sez, "I spent 3 days shooting, and 6 weeks stitching and editing this 80 gigapixel, fully spherical panoramic photo. Now it's up.
Ok, another big boring photo? NO. This one is cool, provocative, and fun.
We've prepared the main page in 12 languages (4 today, 8 more to come)
You can open the map and click to go to different landmarks. — Read the rest
Here's Nico Roig's interactive panorama, made by stitching together the edges of MC Escher's "Relativity" so that they flow psychedelically into one another in a kind of sphere.
This is an eerie and cool panorama of a 19th century Belgian reservoir, temporarily drained for maintenance: "The tank is normally filled with water and therefore inaccessible.
Built in 1877, it collects the water collected by galleries "draining" of the Bois de la Cambre and the Foret de Soignes. — Read the rest
Jeffrey sez, "I've got two fantastic power plants to show you, in 360 spherical photography. First let's travel back to the 1950's or so.

Jeffrey sez, "Nico Roig created this fantastic visualization of a mouth at the dentist. The image of the dentist is a real photo, and the mouth is Nico's creation. If you ever wanted to see what it's like sitting on the tongue like a piece of candy… here you go." — Read the rest
