Here is the latest iteration on the S1 design. There are lots of facets to add tension to the lines, something I think is missing in the design of many devices. The triangular palm grip is still growing on me. I'm not certain that the materials will turn out as I'd like: (Shapeways having a limited selection in plastics), but here's hoping.
Most of the prototype components have been ordered (hoo-rah!) and its now about fitting them into the surfaces. The optics will center around Sony's IMX220 CMOS sensor, which boasts a 20.7 MP resolution. Two of these will be mated to 180 degree fisheye lenses mounted in fins to yield stereo imaging. These fins retract to offer the second imaging mode: 360 degree panoramas.
So... would you buy one? :)
