360 Panorama from Occipital brings amazing panoramic photos to BlackBerry 10

Last year at BlackBerry World (now BlackBerry Live) we saw quite a few BlackBerry 10 demos during the keynote, one of which was a sweet panoramic camera app. While we originally thought the feature might be built in to BlackBerry 10, it turns out it's a standalone app from a company called Occipital. Called 360 Panorama, it's a simple app that lets you take amazing 360 degree panoramic photos on your BlackBerry 10 device.

It's dead simple to use - just tap the button to start snapping then move your device around to capture the photo. The app stitches the image together along the grid making for a seamless picture. You can export the photos for sharing, but viewing them within the app is where it's at. You can scroll around the entire photo and even pan up and down to take it all in. 360 Panorama is truly a great app and I can't wait to try it out even more.

You can grab it now in BlackBerry World for $3.99. If you do, be sure to hit up the forums and share your creations!

This should be a pretty sweet app. Thanks for the heads up.

peterallcdn

That's what I thought!... But it isn't. :-( I just bought it and tried it out doing exactly what I wanted it for, taking 360s of retail environments. The app locks up frequently, often immediately upon starting to capture. It also lags and loses it's orientation repeatedly causing it to overlap existing areas with photos from a completely different direction.

I had such high hopes for this app and was waiting for it ever since it was demoed. But as far as I can tell, it's near useless.

dusdal

I've used it and am not having the troubles you are. I would suggest that as you turn go slowly and pause at two squares of the grid at a time until you see it render those squares and then keep going.

Yours is the only negative review on BlackBerry world thus far, so it might be safe to assume user error for the time being.

Posted via CB10

peterallcdn

Thanks for the feedback, dusdal. I'm not being a negative Nancy, there are actually 3 other reviews that gave the app a worse rating than I did. :-)

I've been able to get some panoramas, but it's definitely finicky about the speed at which you turn, and is still relatively unstable in my opinion. Unfortunately, even when a successful panoramic image is achieved, the stitching is hugely lacking. I can understand if I were taking a picture of clouds or something, but I'm taking pictures of a sales floor filled with straight lines that should give the app perfect guides for stitching. Sadly, it just doesn't do a great job, especially if doing more than one pass to fill the grid(expand the field of view).

This app is fine for vacation snapshots etc, but I couldn't recommend it for professional uses such as creating panoramas of retail spaces/home tours for websites etc. Not to mention, the BlackBerry version of the app only lets you send 360s to BBM users... What's up with that? Not sure how I could get a 360 off the phone to put on a website even if the panoramas were perfect.

Anyhoo... I won't ask for my money back, but I will hope and pray for significant improvements.

Rootbrian

Aybe it wasn't meant for your uses and possibly, you thought it would exceed everything you expected from it. No need to leave bad reviews, just mentioning what needs improvement is what needed to be done.

RP Singh

If a review is accurate and can help others will their purchasing decision, and does not come across as an attack, then I think it's both constructive while being negative. Some developers welcome such.

I want a free app

Posted via CB10

Devil

I'm with you. I don't mind paying for the app, but seriously I haven't been seeing very many apps being released with an affordable price tag - leave alone free. Every app is above $2-$3.

Previous os was. 99c styled apps, but now even the toilet paper is going for $2 minimum. What gives?

To the guys who will tell me to "Stop Whining" - I'm not whining that it has a price tag, I'm just expressing the fact that they have a higher than normal or higher than expected pricetag.

Zetti

Stop Whining.

Fnen90

They wont, I wont and you know why is that?...i guess not.
Ill tell you: Because users/"customers" like you dont mind if theres an app or not for BB like Popular apps on Android or iOS. Do you pay for the Panoramic option on iPhone? NO!...they dont pay for most popular Apps right now and thats because is not about whats better sometimes, is about what people would like to get for FREE. I wonder if Oovoo, Skype, Tango and few more apps like that will be 100% free...can u imagine that u have to pay for the full version of those apps on BB world?? I CANT...think about it.

Ebscer

How exactly is $4 not affordable?

It is $4 to add functionality to your $700 phone, and do something that was impossible 10 years ago...

thatplaybookguy

I have a sony 810i that was doing this 10 years ago and it was a built in feature. your logic is flawed.

BBThemes

fair play to you, especially as the 810i didn't go on sale until 2006, which unless my maths if failing me is 7 years ago.

thatplaybookguy

technicalities. sheesh, still at "7" years ago, panoramic's were possible on a very low end phone.

BruvvaPete2

I've downloaded 130 apps. Every single one of them for free. I never thought I'd download so many at all.

vespajet

People will always whine about the apps prices. People do it with iOS and Android apps too......

knighty2112

Well, wouldn't we all like something for nothing. Seriously, if people gripe about having to pay less for an app as good as this than you would for a one off coffee from Starbucks then all I can say is get back to the USSR comrade!

Sheesh! ; )

You've actually used it? 'cause that certainly wasn't my experience with it.

VT_JustinGlass

Hmm. I installed this morning and did not have any problems. Took several panoramas without issues.

Posted via CB10

peterallcdn

Thanks for the feedback, Justin. I tried several times indoors and even went outdoors just in case. It failed completely or produced a horrible result each time. Usually half way or so through a 360, the app starts to get disoriented and/or stops taking pictures. I've yet to get one clean 360, and that's not even including facing the camera up and down to get a bigger field of view.

I also tried removing and reinstalling the app as well as rebooted my phone, no help.

Rootbrian

I guess the app wasn't for you. No need to leave bad reviews. Delete and move on?

peterallcdn

Hi Brian. I wish there were a more polite way to say this, but your comment is ridiculous. So, as in my situation, unique or otherwise, if a paid app fails miserably out of the gate... I should just shut-up and move on? What exactly do you think ratings are for?? I depend on them when purchasing apps as do others. How does only posting positive reviews help anyone other than the developer's ego? How is the developer supposed to know improvements are needed if users only blow sunshine up their wazoos?

And to be clear, the app is(well, should be) for me! If it worked like the demos on their site, where the app produces perfect 360s and can be embedded in websites, that's exactly what I want. Guess I'm crazy for wanting it to work as advertised.

Rootbrian

I didn't mean to make it seem that way, sometimes it's difficult to tell who's (in a legitimate way) actually playing or being honest. Apologies if I didn't comee off the right way and no, nobody has to shut up and leave. That was wrong of me to say that.

umblanc

Can you delete the app and try to install it again?
Restart your device before reinstalling.
After restart, give your device sometimes to settle down before opening bbworld.

Good luck!

Nope, no idea if there will be a wikitude app for the Z10. Makes me wonder if they are developing a native version seeing as it was on the 9900 and previous devices.

I would expect a wikitude app to come to BB10....didn't they start on BB?

If you want Free apps go and Code some for us....

marcosis

Haha. Exactly! Why do people feel entitled to free things? Whoever made this app put in their time and work to bring it to us and instead of commending them for making a BB10 app, you piss and moan how it should be free? The developer deserves to be compensated for their work. They have to make a living. And chances are you've spent $4+ on lunch so spending the money for a quality app is more of an investment.

BlackBerry Should have included this in the OS

Posted via CB10

JWWDUKE

Absolutely. No doubt this app works good and I'm glad it's native, however, this should be "Baked" in from the get go.

Posted via CB10

xiaohuaxing

agreed!! not because i'm too cheap to pay $4 but because they need as many "wow" factors as they can get to sell the phone/OS

Exactly, as RIM (at the time) said would part of the camera.

Spawn12

Just downloaded it and its so damn smooth and fluid. Very impressed as its made natively with cascades so even better. Not sure if its worth the $4 or £2.50 that i paid for it because in all honesty, this is something that should have been baked into the camera and OS from the word go.

But other than that, its a brilliant app.

ESCON

on the other side what will happen if BB put up everything in the os from beginning? beside that OS10 will never be finished and released course there will always be something to add... they will never give dev's a room to work and make money.....this is the way how the "app eco system" will get bigger and better...
i got my lovely Z10 for 2 weeks and i spend 50€ for apps and games so far....only way to go

xiaohuaxing

they would obviously have to pay the devs for the rights to include the app in the OS...

DWPGQ

Just to add to what you are saying, the Time Shift feature was built into the OS, yet I am sure many people would have paid for it. In the end, you simply cannot build everything into a new generation OS!

Graheem

Panorama (not 360) was announced as going to be a part of OS before Z10 was released, as it is (and very good too) on iPhone. But of a let down it wasn't / isn't there.

On subject of paid apps, they should be very good since there are great free apps on iPhone, Android & BlackBerry.

Posted via CB10

peterallcdn

Hey Spawn. You never experienced any problems with the app? You were able to successfully capture several 360s without the camera getting disoriented or the app freezing up??? If so, WTF is wrong with my app/phone?!?! Grrr.... Seriously, I want this app to work so much but it just won't.

calvin_ta

Mine is very smooth, what version of OS do you have,
Also you might want to try to restart your phone, just in case

peterallcdn

Thanks for the reply, Calvin.

Z10STL100-3 / 10.0.10.672... Which I believe is the latest, for Telus anyway.

Oh trust me, I've restarted my phone, several times. haha I'm going to try the app in different environments over the next day or two. Although it wants to choke when shooting a retail environment where the walls are covered in eyeglass frames, it did "okay" outdoors. I wonder if the complexity of the surroundings affects anything.

Rootbrian

I'm guessing maybe it's something to do with the OS then. Tried reloading it?

thats a pretty sweet app, nice work Occipital

Works great. I don't mind paying for it. I just wish it would add a link in the regular camera beside the other camera options for quick access if you're taking other types of photos.

That would be something to email the developer about. I emailed them about something and they were extremely quick to respond, especially for a Friday night.

mr_zed10

Great app, worth the money.

Posted via CB10

saalnaz

Varadigm,
The answer to your question I think once the user base of Os 10 increases, the prices will drop...economies of scale mm if you have 10 million users of the z10 will help lowering prices...my es mm the prices are slightly steep and developers know that BlackBerry users pay premium opposite to android users...
Thanks spawn.. let's hope the wikitude app is out soon prior to summer when people travel mostly!

Nice version. When will we be able to post the Pano's to the 360 Website, like I can on the Android/iOS versions ?

pels_17

Before iOS 6 I bought this app for. 99cents, it's still. 99cents in the app store. Why is it so expensive in BlackBerry World?

Posted via CB10

nicknac89

I can't tell you how the price was set. And I don't really know about the iOS App. But I think, as others have also pointed out already, it's a fair price if you keep in mind the work the developers put in it.

Besides, does the iOS App also support the 360 degree option?

Posted via CB10

DWPGQ

I bet people would gladly pay for the Time Shift feature on IOS6. It may be gimmicky, but ultimately isn't the panoramic feature also? I would use it a few times a year at best.

jsocan

I think it's because the app developers want to hit the $1000 mark to qualify for the $10,000 guarantee from BlackBerry. Once they hit the mark, you'll see their app prices come down.

Cool, thanks Adam. Was wondering when we would have this capability.

IMO, I don't care how much it costs, as long as it is a native app and it is a quality app I'm going to pay for it. What bothers me are the low quality ported apps that are just as "pricey". You mean you want me to "fully support " you, but you give me a "Half-assed" app?!

tbkfan

I'd pay twice that price for such a great app. I want BlackBerry World to be the most lucrative app store out there. That's how we'll continue to get the amazing apps. It's the only way in fact. Whiners are just one more manifestation of this entitled generation.

The only thing holding me back from buying this app is the fact that it is not incorporated with the native camera app for BlackBerry. Like someone else said in here, would love an icon to access it directly from the camera app, beside time shift.

gordo51

Lemme see now, one app per week gives me 52 by year end, probably more than I will actually buy, and at 4$ each that's 57 cents per day. Not too expensive I 'd say. I'll buy this one.

The only thing holding me back from buying this app is the fact that it is not integrated with the native camera app. Like someone else said in here, I would love if it could be accessed from the camera app, having and icon beside time shift. I would definitely buy it then. It shouldn't be that hard to do. I just don't want another app just to take panoramic shots, have it built in the native camera app.

I'm really excited about this app too

Jmaxim

Why isn't this feature a part of the native camera app? I am so over RIM/BlackBerry!

Martin Green

Make sure you pick up your marbles before you stomp back to mommy.

And to everyone complaining that this isn't part of BB10... let me see... this app is built into iOS... oh wait. OK, so it is built into Android... oops. Why is it such a show stopper for so many that a paid app on the other platforms isn't a free built-in on BB10?

As for the price, yes, it is higher than on the other platforms, but is $4 really going to wipe out your college fund? It amazes me that many will happily spend $6 on a fancy latte at Starbucks, but grumble over a $4 price for something they'll use again and again.

You sir have been brain washed by BlackBerry into accepting the mediocre.

Rootbrian

You sir should stop accusing people of being brainwashed because you don't have any god damn idea what it is even LIKE to be brainwashed by CULTS (moonies, scientology, etc.) And also, stop bashing people. Start making a damn app and then you'll know how hard it is.

Jmax25

Speaking of CULTS, you sound like the leader, trying to tell people what to and what not to say and do, and with so much aggression. .

Rootbrian

Not stooping to your level. Why are you here? To bash? Trolling with intent sucks. At least a majority of us don't do that....

JustAnotherBeerbot

Maybe because the fine folks at BlackBerry decided that it was more worthwhile to devote their time to developing differentiating features that stand out from the crowd -- eg. TimeShift?
Now that the product is out the door, I expect to see more "me too" features over the coming months.

Jmaxim

How about the fine folks at BlackBerry provide all the basic features and then some differentiating features.

Rootbrian

I see you have two accounts. Busted?

gorang

This app is kick ass, i wanted it soon as i saw the demo last year.
I was hoping that BB was going to collaborate with Occipital to have this app integrated into a camera as a feature but I guess that would make camera app pretty complex.

On the topic of this app, I bought it and think it's great, but not without a few challenges. I do get the problems where there are gaps in the stitching, or its not seamless. However I'm not sure how quickly I should move either so I'm going to continue to test.

I wish there was a help file and that it was integrated into the camera app. I am willing for pay for quality native apps.

Great app! Worth the $4.51 CDN I paid. That said it retails for $0.99 in the iOS store, so there is quite a bit of disparity in the pricing. Is this the cost of brining it to BB10?

Posted via CB10

jsocan

No, I think it's the incentive of the $10,000 guarantee that apps are priced higher so they can get to the $1000 qualifying threshold much easier. After that, hopefully the prices will come back down.

You don't need an app really. Here's a hand held 150 degree panorama from a six image Z10 stitch using Hugin (free) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/russellmcneil/8540259931/in/set-72157632553...

uzmarvel

That was a good Art Sir. Well done. I wish you had a tutorial on how to do this on youtube.

Russell McNeil

I was able to figure Hugin out on my own after playing with it a bit. Any panorama involves taking a series of anywhere from 2 to 15 pictures (the 15 is arbitrary but I found turning about 25 degrees between pictures works well so a full 360 degree panorama would use 14-15 pictures). The sequence of pictures can be around the edge of any plane.

The image in my link above used six overlapping photos to cover an arc of 150 degrees. To take that 150 degree series you must turn from left to right using the horizon as a reference. You actually take five turns - after taking the first image so 5 x 25 (degrees) = 150 degrees. You need to do this carefully by facing the middle of the arc that you plan to use. You hold the camera squarely at eye level and practice twisting the torso to the left where the first of the six images will be shot. Because all of your movement will come from a twisting motion from left to right your horizon should stay in the same place for the series. The software corrects for parallex errors and vertical displacements and also white balance is normalized to the first image - so the resulting panorama is completely seamless. All you do is feed your six images into one end of Hugin to create the panorama (this is actually a two step process). The results are quite amazing to me. Panoramas need to be displayed at full screen width to be fully appreciated.

Ronstermadness

I downloaded and it works way better than I expected. 100% satisfied. Not glitzy very smooth awesome app didn't mind spending the money at all.

Posted via CB10

os30

Yeah having the same lock up issues as described by some users. Also, the final image (if you save it as an image) is pretty low quality.

It is a good start though. Maybe hopefully one day after issues are fixed, it will be able to compete with the Android panaroma feature in their camera.

Let's hope with all the feedback, the developer patches the issues.

lorax1284

I would buy it for $4 if they weren't ashamed of it, and that's the truth... if you go to their website they profile the iOS and android versions with links to iTunes App Store and Google Play, with device mock ups showing screen shots, but no love for Z10 and no mention of BB10 version and obviously no link to BBWorld.

If they were willing to out all three platforms side by side as equals, even though iOS and Android versions are only $1, I would pay $4 as a show of support... but nooooope.

I've been waiting for an app like this for awhile and although I'm happy to have it, there are some glitches. I've only tried it a few times but almost every time I have, the app either freezes or doesn't capture all the frames. I've had to restart the app or delete the image and start over.

Initially this was shown as being a part of the BlackBerry10 camera along with time shift. I was curious as to why it wasn't there at launch but it all makes sense now.

JustAnotherBeerbot

Out of curiosity, where did you see panorama shown-off with time-shift?
I don't remember Panorama ever being publicized. I know Occipital demo'd this at BB Jam in Orlando last May, but I don't recall seeing any RIM material claiming this would be part of the OS.

I also know there was a panorama demo on the Playbook at the same conference. No one involved ever claimed it was a launch-day feature though.

I bought it and Like it very much, would like an update to share the 360's via email so that I could make a database out of them to look at later. Also a zoom feature would be nice and a hd option. Keep the updates coming. found it very easy to use but an instructions splash screen would definitely be a bonus for your app and help out people who would otherwise complain about lack of instructions. I gave it 5 stars.

I also sent one to my wife's BB9900 BBM to verify results locally and it came in as a long strip that you can see in the regular screen and you can pinch and zoom to get a larger look at it..scroll from one side to the other...
Worked perfectly
...I also posted a pic in the Forum Link Above...this is the scroll pic that would show up on the BB9900's
of course in the APP it looks amazing because it rolls around ...

check it out..it was my first panorama shot outside and I think it went extremely well...

I've been waiting for this app since it was demoed at BlackBerry World last year.

Downloaded it last night... showed it off... everyone was amazed :)

Si.

I just installed it and it works ok. What I've noticed is that it works best if you rotate the phone on it's axis as opposed to moving around in a circular motion, if you move around it looses it location.

Exactly. Hold it close to your face and spin around its axis. Also try different angles (up and down) . If it's dark, turn pause turn pause and repeat as necessary.

I haven't been able to download it. It says it's unavailable for my device. Using the Z10 on Verizon.
In fact, I am unable to search for it in BB World and could only access it from the link on this article.

Same here unavailable for my brand new Z10? UGH

I've tried it several times and it starts well, but it just decides to freeze and jump around. This is after taking one picture. What fix does this need??
