Cycloramic app automatically spins iPhone 6 to capture 360-degree panoramas

Cycloramic is a new app for capturing panoramic shots with your iPhone 6. And rather than have you move your iPhone around to capture wide scenes, the best part about Cycloramic is that it will rotate the phone for you without any requiring assistance, giving gorgeous 360-degree videos and photos. As featured on the show Sharktank, Cycloramic's creators say that the app leverages the iPhone 6's internal vibration motor to help rotate the phone slowly to capture those panoramas. It's like setting your iPhone 6 on a turntable.

All you have to do to leverage this automatic rotation feature is prop your phone up between the prongs of your iPhone's charger, which is supplied by Apple when you bought your iPhone 6.

This revolutionary, fully automated mode lets your phone do all the work. Just put your iPhone 6 on top of your power adapter on a smooth and level surface (granite, marble or wood desk) and it will automatically rotates 360 degrees using the phone's internal vibration motor. As it rotates, the phone takes multiple photos, instantaneously stitches them together, and generates a panoramic photo viewable in our immersive viewer.

Through the vibration mechanism, you can get a 360-degree shot in about 12 seconds.

  • Full HD: Generates full HD panoramic videos or photos, in landscape mode.
  • Fast: it will rotate 360 degrees as fast as 12 seconds
  • Reliable: Now works on uneven and not level surfaces, and at a better angle

And if you have an older iPhone model, you can always follow the guided system to stitch together your captures.

Here are some of the features:

  • The easiest panorama guidance system.
  • The fastest panorama capture (less than 3 sec for 180 degree panorama with the iPhone 6)
  • up to 360-degree panoramas.
  • Award winning photo editing and enhancement tools from Aviary: filters, frames, stickers, adjustments (crop, rotate, contrast, brightness, etc.) and more. The photo suite can also be used on your regular photos taken outside of Cycloramic.
  • Immersive viewer.
  • Video Conversion: Convert any photo into a video (240p, 360p, 480p, 720p or 1080p resolutions).
  • Panorama Photo to INSTAGRAM Video converter.
  • Share to Facebook, Twitter, INSTAGRAM (photo and video), email, sms and camera roll.
  • ... And for the iPhone 5/5S, the revolutionary Handsfree Mode.

What do you think of not having to rotate your iPhone 6 yourself to capture panoramas? Is Cycloramic an app you think you'll use a lot?
