video with your smartphone is about to take on a
whole new dimension with the advent of 360-degree
lenses you can attach to your phone. This video
technology is already making an impact on police
and security procedures, and may soon be the next
disruptive technology in the news industry.
Currently, you can get a 360-degree attachment for
an iPhone for as little as $60, which could make
this technology ubiquitous in the very near
future. We admit we don't really know what this
means to libraries - maybe a cool way to record a
story hour? - but it's interesting nonetheless.

360-degree video have all angles covered?</a>
(BBC News) "Recently, video apps and specialised
camera lenses have added to the immersive look
and now TV and film companies are starting to
take the tech more seriously. Lindsey Suter, of
the BBC Blue Room - the broadcaster's consumer
technology lab - said: 'You could be telling
three different stories within one bit of
footage, which personally I find really
exciting. I think that's the amazing thing about
360 is the narrative, the story and the journey
that you go on.'"</li>

(Milpitas Post editorial) "Something similar is
the current acquisition by police departments in
the Bay Area of mobile automated license plate
readers for officers to use while on patrol.
These are capable of scanning and recording the
plates of hundreds of cars within a 360-degree
arc. Stored indefinitely these could have great
potential to capture the whereabouts of stolen
cars as well as much else."</li>
