If anybody else watches Shark Tank, you might have seen this one on there. I am always looking out for cool new apps whether for business or personal use.
A couple of weeks ago they featured this app on Shark Tank and I had to download it to try it out. It is called Cycloramic. It is a paid app, but well worth the couple of bucks for the download.
What you do is this: You open the app and it accesses your camera, you push the capture button as if you were taking a picture, then you stand the camera on its bottom end on a hard surface like tile or wood, the app will then take a series of photos and by using the vibration feature of the phone it turns itself up to 360 degrees (you tell it how far to turn).
Once it has completed the cycle and taken all of the photos, it stitches them together and creates a video. It is pretty cool.
You can take 365 degree photos without worrying about hands shaking, seeing your reflection in the windows and mirrors (a pet peeve of mine). When you stat the app you get a timer which allows your 12 seconds to set the camera down and step out of sight.
Below is a very short one I did when I downloaded the app, imagine how effective it could be with the proper lighting and a properly staged room.
