Cycloramic app turns iPhone into self-rotating panoramic cam

[Dave McElderry]

I wasn't born yesterday, so I'm not sold on this yet, but at the very least it's the coolest gimmick I've seen in a long time. The Cycloramic app for iPhone controls the vibrator inside the iPhone to rotate the phone on a flat surface as it films a 360-degree HD video or panoramic still picture. I'd be very unhappy if my iPhone was damaged while falling over doing this, though.

The vibrator couldn't be that predictable.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking. The app is normally $1.99 but right now it's free. It would be tempting to try except that I'm not willing to stand my phone up on end on a slick surface to try it out. Think I'll pass.

Plus you need to take it out of the case....Nice Parlor trick and it is free but...ummm..I'll pass I am not that lazy either.

I received the muvi x-lapse for Christmas and tried it out with a GoPro. Works great. Has a holder for cell phones included.

We watched it last night, but I came in late to the show. Must have missed his presentation.

It requires me to login with my TV provider to continue. Nope, didn't see it.
