Why Google`s "Street View" is not enough ?

This is the greatest time for Media related innovation happening throughout the world. When the companies like "Google" and "EarthMine" are coming up with option of static photography of the world, there arise one more innovative company who thinks static imagery is not enough. The company is "Immersive Media" who have started taking videos of the streets as a complete 360 degrees view(except the bottom of the camera), and a user can play it like a video and with the movement of the mouse can see through the video in that angle/he or she wants. Looks simple but just think about the possibilities of such a camera. Try it your self.
1. Play the video below.
2. Click and drag the mouse in a direction which you want to peep into.
3. And the focus will follow your mouse direction giving you a feeling as if you are turning your head while driving.



Take 1
Just imagine such a camera as a surveillance camera where it takes the 360 degrees of video and some mishap happens. The authorities can completely go through the video after the crime happened and find out what went wrong.

Take 2
Wandering in city and looking at all the tourist area as if we ourselves have shot it.

The possibilities are endless !

Boom Shuffle - Create your own radio stream - Music Social !

Update on 2009/05/10 : Looks like boom shuffle service is not anymore.

If you love discovering/listening new music...go ahead

Following playlist was prepared on a site called
http://www.boomshuffle.com/
where you can go and select various artist , albums (some limitations there, since its in beta) and create your own playlist, share it with your fiends and on the top of it embed it somewhere like I have done below on your site. Also its very interesting to discover new playlist created by other people throughout the world and discover the new songs.

For now you also need to select at least songs from 15 different artist because they say
"In order to play full streams of the tracks in your mix, it must include a minimum of 15 tracks from 15 different artists. If it contains less than this number, you can only play back 30-second samples until you add more songs by different artists to your mix. This allows us to comply with requirements related to internet radio. The more tracks that you add from different artists, the better your playback experience will be."

So like orkut, facebook, myspace for your mesages.., youtube for videos...this is for your music..


check it out yourself, its fast and easy.
