I did something similar with the Wii, to record that data and send it to
the computer as I was taking the photos. The problem is, the wii is an
accelerometer and it works when the camera is stationary, but would not
work for a moving camera. It would be interesting to rig something using
an arduino and a digital inclinometer, using a wireless medium to send
the data to a computer.

 Thomas> Yes, it would.  The Panini projection needs to be aligned to the world

its tilt

but does

 Thomas> Pending the correct solution, I have given Panini-Video a
