I invented, built, and released a 360º Video Camera.

Hacker News

Greetings, HN! I have created a new kind of 360º video camera with GPS and live streaming capabilities. A device like this has never existed in this form factor or price point before. After launching on Kickstarter, it has gotten coverage in Techcrunch and Boingboing, and received 89% funding in the first 24 hours. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts about the device, the Kickstarter campaign, and any ways of publicizing the campaign that I might be missing. I'm most interested in hearing anyone thoughts about how the Kickstarter page might be improved to boost conversions, as the clock is ticking.... Thank you! Here is the link to Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1996234044/sphericam-the-easy-360o-video-camera
