EGG lens
I recently had the opportunity to test and play with an EGG lens. If you're unfamiliar, no worries, you probably should be. It's a lens designed to take a single shot with a 360 degree view. The lens comes with software to turn the single image into a 360 deg. moving virtual tour. Have you seen those on real estate websites? That's what they are meant for. I was hoping to experiment and come up with something awesome that it could be used for outside of real estate and interior tours and such. The problems- the software isn't designed to be able to upload to a blog, only emailed or uploaded to a website. Which means unfortunately, I can't show you the real awesomeness. I also tried to print and bend and see if you could re-create a surrounding room like shot, but that didn't work out so well either.
