Whip out your phone fire up Lens and just point the camera at the tree and Google’s neural network will quickly do the rest. Say you are out and about and you see something you want to learn more about like a sign, or a famous building, or in my case a tree. Next, let’s check out the Google lens a kind of image recognition and searching technology that is available as a standalone app but comes built into the Pixel 6. After the pictures are taken it only takes a few moments for the 360 image to be ready – not long ago this took much longer, was far less user-friendly, and often failed to stitch together seamlessly. I tested it out on the grounds of a shrine. It works by having you take multiple photos in a circle around you then stitching them together, but instead of the traditional flat panorama image, you can navigate the image in a 360-degree space – very cool for scenic locations. You access it by opening your camera app and going to modes then selecting it. None of these photo features are unique to the Pixel 6 in any way but work great due to the improved AI powers of the Pixel 6 and the work Google has been doing.įirst up are Photo Spheres which are 360 panoramic images. I made a post and a video about my thoughts on the Pixel 6 after a week but I also wanted to explore some more of the camera features, mainly 360 Photo Spheres, Google Lens and Panorama.

While it might be heavy, you can pull off a full sphere with only two cameras. We’ve seen wide field of view cameras mounted to heads before. There are many others, too, some of which never got off the ground (no pun intended). This looks more competitive with the 360 Fly or the Viooa. None of those look optimized for use on a drone, though. There are other panoramic cameras like the iris360, the LG 360, the Theta S, and the Gear 360. You can mount multiple GoPro cameras if you can afford the weight, but this seems much more practical both from a weight perspective and doesn’t require software stitching. The device is set to go on sale later this year with no word on the price. The camera can also drive common VR headsets. The software (see video below) runs on Windows or Android (they’ve promised an iOS version) and there’s no additional image processing hardware needed. There is apparently a different lens that can provide 280 degrees if you need that, although apparently that will add size and weight and be more suitable for use on the ground. That allows a view of 30 degrees above the horizon as well as directly under the drone. It picks up a sphere that is 360 degrees around the drone’s front and back and 240 degrees centered directly under the drone. The camera is under 2.5 inches square, weighs 62 grams, and draws less than 3 watts at 12 volts. MAGnet Systems wants to change all that with a lightweight spherical camera made to fit on a flying vehicle. You can mount multiple cameras, but now you’ve added weight and power drain to your drone. That’s hard to fly, though, because you can’t really look around without moving the drone to match. Some cheap drones now have a VR (virtual reality) mode to feed signal to a headset or a Google Cardboard-like VR setup. Pricey drones often have a gimbal mount to keep the camera stable, but you are still only looking in one direction. That’s great for fun shots, but it makes it hard to get just the right shot, especially as the drone tilts up and down, taking the camera with it. Cheap hobby quadcopters often have a camera built-in or mounted in a fixed position. One of the problems with a cheap drone is getting good video, especially in real time.
