iPIX Movies is an amazing technology that uses a two headed fish eye camera lens to provide a 360 view. Creator, Steve Zimmeran developed the technology while working on a project to give robots human vision. Developed in 1986 it was expected to revolutionize movies and internet possibilities. So far it has largely been used for online tours like the ones you see on Real Estate sites. It was also used for President Bush's 2003 State of the Union Address. Due to financial problems the founding company was not able to develop the product to it's full potential. Sony recently purchased 28 patents for IPIX. It will be interesting to see what they do with the technology. I think this technology could be used to make Survivorman's job easier.
