CED VMS company Aqueti today launched a Kickstarter
campaign you might want to look into. Their new Aware2 camera takes a
single-shot panorama with extraordinary detail -- it’s as though your eyes can
zoom into every single part of a wide angle shot. This is a widely-hailed (Wired,
NBC, ABC, WSJ, etc. ) breakthrough being spun out of Duke University, and to
demonstrate this product and its applications, they’re giving NC citizens the
ability to experience the first public use of the camera.
Carolina Zoomin’! The campaign is called Carolina Zoomin’ because
if they get enough backers (between today and June 19) they’ll be zooming
across North Carolina – literally.
They head to the coast July 15 and from their base in
Wilmington will capture the Cape Fear and Outer Banks through July 23. Then it’s
off to the mountains and Asheville from July 24-August 1, and wrap it up in the
Piedmont and Raleigh-Durham from August 2-10. They’ll also offer workshops on
the use of and technology behind the camera: July 17 in the Wilmington area,
July 30 in the Asheville area, and August 6 in the Durham area. The exhibition
events will be in September, 2013.
What will they photograph? That’s kind of up to the backers! Aqueti
is crowd-sourcing its ideas and backers get to vote on their preferences.
Suggestions so far? Photographing 100 mountain-climbers; a 500-person crowd at
the first gigapixel recorded wedding; zoom-able panoramas full of coastal
wildlife; concerts; family reunions...
They’re also making a film of the expedition, and at the
close of the tour will host a screening at a catered reception with boosters
and the company founders, and offer the first-ever display of the crowd-selected
series of 30-foot prints that represent our Carolina Zoomin’ tour.
It’s pretty cool – you might
want to visit the Kickstarter
page to learn more, or go experience some of the pictures they’ve taken at the Duke
graduation and Durham Market a couple weeks ago.
