It's from a company called IPIX.  They sell several packages.  Basically it

is a digital camera with an 8mm lens attached and a special tripod adapter.

The lens lets you take one picture that covers over 180 degrees - you take 2

pictures, "stitch" them together and POW you've got a 360 degree image.


I work as a consultant for a company that puts together virtual tours using

this technology.  It's pretty fun stuff.  IPIX nails you, though - to stitch

the images together you need a key for each image - each key costs $25. The

cost adds up quickly.


I'm glad to see someone using Flash with IPIX, though, as this company had

said, again, that there was too much of a barrier to entry to use both Flash

and IPIX together.  I'll have to look at the site.


Later!
