GoPano Plus Optic with VideoWarp Creator and PhotoWarp Overview

GoPano Plus is an optic for capturing seamless 360-degree panoramic images in an instant. Attach it to your digital camera and you can create snapshot panoramas. Hook it up to your video camera to capture all the action around you. Share your creations with others to give an interactive experience that’s almost as good as being there.

How It Works

GoPano Plus uses a specially curved mirror. Its shape gathers light from all directions and reflects it into the lens of your camera. This single image shows everything in a 360? ring around the optic. On your computer, this warped image is transformed (“unwarped”) into an interactive scene where anyone can control the view.

Construction

The GoPano Plus uses a diamond-turned aluminum mirror, coated for high reflectivity and protection from handling. The housing and the mirror post are machined from aluminum. The center stage is made of glass coated to ensure the best optical quality and scratch resistance. Spirit levels are conveniently positioned around the base of the optic.

A standard 67mm photographic filter thread is easily adapted to fit most digital cameras, SLR lenses, and camcorders. The generous thread depth allows for solid mounting while accommodating accessories like our GoPano Magnetic Quick Release.

To protect the optic when it’s not in use, we provide a clamshell hard case with every GoPano. Its clamshell design lets you cover the optic with a camera still attached, keeping dust and debris at bay.

Software

This GoPano optic includes VideoWarp Creator for Mac OS X for producing interactive panoramic videos. It also includes PhotoWarp 2.5, powerful software for batch processing panoramic images shot with GoPano.
