Users of the iPhone 4 are in for a real treat because now they can get gyroscope powered panorama viewing in their Safari browser. It seems that the latest mobile version of Safari supports gyroscope powered HTML coding that actually allows iPhone 4 users to view panoramic photographs on the internet.
If you own an iPhone 4 or an iOS device that has a gyroscope and is running iOS 4.2 you will be able to test this out for yourself using the 360 Panorama app that has been released by Occipital. Occipital are the first company to take advantage of the new HTML coding that has been used in the latest version of Safari and along with the gyroscope feature of the iPhone 4 and the latest generation iPod Touch they allow users to explore any 360 Panorama photograph by spinning it around as if you were really there.
In the Occipital’s demo that they have also released you can see exactly what all the full is about and you can view the original photos from this demo on Twitpic or you can use Apple’s Maps app to find them.
This is a fantastic app and using the Safari panorama view you will be able to really view a virtual representation of any scene just as if you were really there. Occipital are calling this feature augmented reality but it is a lot more powerful than that. We suggest that you check it out for yourself to see what all the fuss is about and just how amazing this app can be. It is going to take the world of photography to a whole new level and there is a lot of talk about it.
This new Safari update and the additional HTML coding could lead the way for a lot more apps to come on stream but for the moment this 360 Panorama app is the only one available.
