According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and NASA Ames will release in March a $200 robot which will transform your digital cameras into powerful image-makers without your help. Attached to almost any model of digital cameras, the Gigapan robot platform will take continuous snapshots of a place or an event. Then the software provided by the research team will produce a panoramic image built from all these snapshots. And these images will be zoomable. This means you'll have the best of two worlds, big panoramas and startling details.
This GigaPan platform has been developed at Carnegie Mellon University by Illah Nourbakhsh, an associate professor of robotics with the help of the NASA Ames Intelligent Robot Group. This project is part of the Global Connection Project.
