App of the Day: 360 Panorama for iPhone [Video]

360 Panorama ‘s a nifty app for shooting 360-degree images together with your iPhone wherever you happen to be. It just got better with an update that lets friends view those panoramas by spinning their own gyroscopically-capable iPhones around wherever they may be.

What is it?

360 Panorama, iPhone, $1 . A panorama photography app for the iPhone with a fairly killer new feature. It kinda looks like a ” no duh” addition here, but apps that profit from the iPhone 4′s new gyroscope are still few and far between, so it’s good to determine it implemented. Shooting a panorama is identical as it’s always been: you spin around slowly to reveal your surroundings. But the 360 Panorama update now allows you to view those panoramas by doing an analogous real life spinning, due to the iPhone 4′s gyroscope.

You can send those shots on your iPhone 4-wielding friends-the app allows you to save to photo roll, email, or upload to Twitter-and they’ll be capable to view them an analogous way; for those running iOS 4.2, Mobile Safari will automatically detect the gyroscope-ready image and use that to manage the image. Spin around or glance up and down just by waggling your phone, or pinch to zoom to take a closer check out the scene.

You can check this link in your iPhone to take a look at it out.

Who’s it good for?

People who are into pushing their iPhone photography into new territory; those who find themselves panoramically inclined.

Why’s it better than alternatives?

360 Panorama’s easy as pie to exploit and the consequences look impressively sharp. It’s always picking up new features-like this gyroscope-enabled viewing-and it only costs a buck.

How could it’s even better?

It’d be nice if they offered a succinct little guide for shooting panoramas. Their examples are inclined to look significantly better than the ones I give you.
