There’s always new accessories coming out for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad – whether it’s a cool new case, an app or something pretty wacky and wonderful. In the case of these four new products, they’re genuinely useful, with all of them having apps to help make life that little bit easier:
Kogeto Dot for iPhone
Kogeto Dot for iPhone 4/4S
The Kogeto Dot for iPhone 4/4S is a revolutionary device which attaches to the camera lens of your iPhone, allowing you to take 360 degree panoramic shots of your surroundings.
The Dot simply, clicks onto your iPhone, like a hard iPhone case would, then once you’ve downloaded the free Looker app you’re ready to take pictures like never before.
Like an all seeing eye, the Dot sees everything around you so it’s perfect for taking to a concert, getting the most amazing holiday snaps and truly making moments unforgettable.
What’s clever about the Dot is that it takes the 360 degree image all at once, without stitching frames together. The system is AR-coated for excellent colour fidelity in all environments, meaning you can use it come rain or shine. It doesn’t require any batteries or external power either – all you need is your iPhone and the looker app.
When you view the image, they’re displayed with a virtual spin around, so by swiping the screen you see difference areas of the image or you can view it in a straight panoramic widescreen. The images are easy to share via email and social media too.
