Occipital, creators of360Panorama($1.99,$.99 today only), nameda top 30 iPhone photography appby our Matthew Panzarino has announced huge new updates.

360Panorama version 3.0was the first iPhone app of its kind to offer users the ability to create a fully immersive, 360 degree, interactive panoramic photo in under 30 seconds.

Using the iPhone 4’s gyroscope to fill in missing frames while tracking a user’s motion, a panorama is captured after launching the app, tapping the screen and panning your iPhone in any direction.   Your panoramic photo is created in front of your eyes, no stitching required, sharing it in a multitude of ways.

360Panorama, already splendid, with today’s launch of version 4.0 has taken its app to another level with new features and a new way to explore geolocated, immersive, 360 degree images captured by others, 360VERSE.

Version 4.0 adds:

Calling all Scaleup founders! Join the Soonicorn Summit on November 28 in Amsterdam.

Meet with the leaders of Picnic, Miro, Carbon Equity and more during this exclusive event dedicated to Scaleup Founders!

Speaking with Occipital Co-Founder Vikas Reddy,

“You won’t see this right away, but as our servers learn to do a better job synthesizing, you’ll see your panoramas improve over time instead of remaining static.”

360VERSEis an equally massive addition to 360Panorama:

For example, search for “New York City tonight” through360VERSEafter President Obama’s speech last week and this image is presented :http://occip.it/pt4s8zso.  A search of “2011 Academy Awards” yields:http://occip.it/pt44jpzbandhttp://occip.it/pt44lqn7(captured by@danabrunetti, producer, “The Social Network”).

If you love photography apps, and great ones at that, 360Panorama is more than worth the $1.99, but is$.99, today only!  Pick up the apphereand begin sharing your panoramas with the world!
