The original hype around the Segway was that it was going to change
personal transportation forever. What it was was a technical tour d'
force that in reality changed almost nothing, it wasn't an anti gravity
flying car or a personal transportation system. The Segway was a device
that couldn't do anything a healthy person couldn't do walking, and in
fact couldn't even go cross country as well. This strikes me as the
photographic equivalent. I expect that there's more of a market for a
camera built on these principals as opposed to the Segway which is now
the province of over weight rent-a-cops and the US Postal service, more
than anything else.

Well, I think it's the Segway of photography.

I expect dramatic contributions to macrophotography of static objects,
for example.
Sports photography may need some more time, though...

Maybe someone else has posted this, but I have a bit more than 8k
messages
from the PDML in my inbox, which I haven't even begun to wade
trough, so
I've decided to share. Mike Johnston seems to think this is the
future, but
a little bit of research on the technology left me somewhat
underwhelmed,
perhaps because I was expecting some kind or real breakthrough,
maybe having
to do do with holographic principals, as opposed to massively
processing
different image planes. Still it's an interesting concept.
