360 Panorama: Take Great Panoramic Images - On Sale Today Only!

December 2, 2010
Great news, guys: the popular iOS app, 360 Panorama, is on sale ($0.99) for today only. This clever application, which has recently been updated, allows iPhone 3GS, 4, and iPod touch (4G) users to take breathtaking panoramic shots with ease. While my skills with 360 Panorama aren't all that great (I blame the snow), it is possible to take stunning panoramic shots using this iOS app. It works in a slightly different way than what you might be used to. Essentially, 360 Panorama provides users with gridlines through which they can maneuver, while pausing occasionally to shoot a new image. The app shoots the image automatically, when you pause, which is a handy feature.

However, that's not all. 360 Panorama also allows users to upload "immersive 360 Views," and tweet about them, all from within the application. This feature is pretty cool. Effectively, you can create your own Google Street View for just one position, wherever you are. To check out mine, head here. As the app's developer, Occipital, notes:
Capturing panoramas has never been easier! Just tap the screen and pan your phone camera in any direction. You'll see your panorama being built in realtime as every incoming frame is processed. When you're done, you can save and share your panorama instantly with no need to fumble around with a clumsy stitching process. There's nothing else like it!
As mentioned, my attempt at creating a panoramic shot using 360 Panorama didn't turn out too well. In all honestly, I'll probably go with Pano the next time I want to make a panoramic digital image. However, 360 Panorama does work - just check out TUAW's post, if you don't believe me. And, don't forget: 360 Panorama is on sale today for $0.99. This offer will last for one day only (today), so if you want to purchase this interesting iOS app, be sure to do so while the price is low!
