Gigapan billion pixel imager for digital cameras.

The Gigapan imager can capture incredibly high-resolution panoramic images with a standard consumer digital camera. It accomplishes this by precisely manipulating the camera's pan and tilt gaze with precision motors while taking many, possibly hundreds of pictures.
The pictures are then digitally "stitched" together with special software to create a seamless panoramic image. The results can be amazing--images with incredible detail, clarity and billions of pixels.
" We are pleased to announce GigaPix Systems LLC is a new company formed out of Charmed Labs to continue the development of the GigaPan Imagers and software. We are operating under the name GigaPan Systems. All inquiries about Gigapan products should be directed to Gigapan Systems.
Gigapan is an ongoing partnership between Gigapan Systems, Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute, NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group, and Google. "Giga" stands for many, or billions of pixels, and "pan" as in panorama. One of the primary goals of Gigapan is to capture stunning panoramic images of our world using technology that is afforable to the ordinary consumer. Please visit the Gigapan Systems website for more information. In particular, please fill out the mailing list form if you wish to hear about future Gigapan developments. "
