Today I came across a tweet linking to a demo of what the Yellow Bird camera has to offer. I was blown away but I had work to get on with so I put it to the back of my mind and moved on, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Then later at lunch I was explaining it to some colleagues, it was the first free moment I’d had to reflect on the technology after a busy morning, and I started to get overloaded with ideas of how this technology can be implemented. And more than that I never really imagined a technology like this existing before, it’s really inspired me, opening my mind to the fact that all current technology is in it’s infancy compared to where it will be in 100 years, we’re in the digital stone age people! I feel really lucky to be around at a time like this, witness the digital revolution first hand. Be inspired!
“By using a Google Streetview-like camera, a system with six lenses, not as a photo but as a video camera, an all-encompassing picture is captured. […]
From the point where the images were recorded, the viewer can look in any direction, let his eyes wander through the crowd, or stare at the ground or the air, which makes viewing a video an experience without boundaries.” – Yellow Bird press release
The company has by far the longest domain name I have ever seen:
