Last days of 360 business (or at least a huge part of it)

Who will survive:
Those who are able to produce a difference in quality, but also that can get the clients that appreciate that.
If picture's quality of this camera is in fact what they show in their web page, well, this is a breakthrough for the industry.

Those images are a lie.
There is no way that a fisheye lens in a camera prized at $200 can produce this quality.
The images shown on the page are stitched panoramas.

We're doomed, we're all doomed!
Google is going to kill us, tamaggo is going to kill us. What about the "amazing" one shot mirror and the Girocam?
Oh no! - we're all doomed.
Yeah right...

Hope you´re right my friend.
Google use the same tech we use, and they don´t care about quality. Clients need quality for their web pages. Google does not compete with the good panographers. Girocam is a chinese toy.
I never was worried when they appeared.
But sometimes, technology changes the game. Digital cameras kill Kodak, Agfa and so many big players. You can check others jobs that disappeared:

If these images are a lie, then nobody need to worry about it.
But, as said, if they have the quality shown, then let´s talk in two years.
Best,
Pablo

And you guys call that scarry? 
Imagine you meeting me, I press the button of my cameras and 10 minutes after you see the panos on your phone also in 3D, me doing nothing but shooting another pano which again is on your phone and again and again..
Could be something more scarrier? Me having 2x5DIIs on my NN pole?! Oh no!
cheers,
Dorin

Does Google Street View accept pro panorama tours?

Dorin,
You are doing some real pioneering work. The instant pano may be common on TV in the not too distant future. If you figure out how to eliminate the need for a panoramic photographer and make your idea easy for the average TV cameraman to use, you could be very rich someday.
Are you applying for a patent? You should....

It just plain embarrassing that a "camera" store would allow such pathetic photography. Absolutely terrible stuff.

When camera is on auto, only need is to press the remote button for that, so is for anybody.
There will be al$o Panoramic TV 3D too based on stitchless and gigapixel panoramas based on stitchless when knowledges about cameras will help.
Also panoramic TV ask for rethinking of the way television is done and requires 6 cameras, now I'm working on miniaturising the things, you know, phone instead of notebook, better website, and search for fundings, will be very expensive to achieve first broadcast, but then let's hope for better times
cheers,
Dorin

In fact
"The images used on this site to represent images taken with the Tamaggo 360-imager are for illustrative purposes only"
Well, sorry for my post then. I saw the announce on a respectful site, and they said that tamaggo's page show examples of pictures taken with the camera.

I saw a web site that streamed a live hockey game. There was a pod mounted near the teams box that had several video cameras inside. The viewer could scroll around and change the view to whatever they wanted while the game was going on. The cameras did not move, only the direction the viewer pointed to moved. It was all very impressive and all done in real time.
All of the hardware and software for streaming live real time panoramic TV is already here.
