- Someone1234 11y agoLove the concept and camera, the software needs some work. Watching someone slowly scroll around as in the video is pretty laughable for a tense and potentially life threatening situation. But I think they have all of the "core" stuff they need to build better software. I wonder what the bottleneck is? I mean is the software only able to receive 3 of the sensor's feeds concurrently, and the slow scrolling is so that sensors can be switched on/off? Ideally it should just jump to any motion or use face recognition to bounce to interesting parts of the room. The biggest competitor I see to this is drones. You can get a near real time video drone now for under $2,500 which is both small enough and stable enough to fly through an open doorway (but maybe less subtle, assuming that you think this ball-cam is).
- ggchappell 11y agoThe specs look about right to me, except for the update rate: > 1 full 360-degree panorama per second Does that seem awfully slow to anyone else?
