Shooting a panorama is very easy, but surely robots make everything easier? NASA scientists have solved that shocking lack of robots by creating one that will shoot a panorama and stitch the photos. The Gigapan system is designed for shooting ultra high-resolution gigapixel panoramas, and will apparently be on sale as early as March, but the prototype shown in the photos seems distinctly unpolished. It looks very silly, but still it’s pretty cool. If it’s as cheap as they claim it will be, then I’ll certainly be getting one.
