Panoramic Phone Chat Devices

The Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS Accessory Makes Conversations 3-D

— March 29, 2012 — Tech
Created by Josh Guyot and JoeBen Bevirt, the Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS accessory makes video calling closer to a real life conversation than ever before.

The biggest problem with video chatting is that the phone cannot be rotated seamlessly enough to incorporate other objects or people into the screen without causing blur or some sort of conversation distraction.

The Galileo solves this problem by allowing the person making a call to use their phone, tablet or web browser to either tilt or pan the device and adjust what they would see in their screen. The phone rests in a holder in the mechanized, rotating device that smoothly moves to accommodate talking points. The device also charges the phone.

The Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS accessory also has the potential to be an effective tool for filmmakers due to its seamless 360 degree rotation, and plans are in the works to potentially incorporate the device onto GoPro Hero cameras.
Trend Themes
1. Enhanced Video Call Devices - The Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS accessory has disrupted traditional video calls by allowing users to seamlessly rotate their device and adjust their viewing angle, creating opportunities for further innovation in this space.
2. Multi-directional Mobile Holders - The Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS accessory's holder allows for smooth and effortless rotation, opening up possibilities for improved hands-free device use and creating opportunities for new mobile holder designs.
3. 360 Degree Filming Accessories - The Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS accessory has demonstrated the potential to operate effectively in a film production setting, with opportunities for innovation in camera accessories that incorporate its seamless 360 degree rotation feature.
Industry Implications
1. Telecommunications - The Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS accessory could disrupt the traditional video call market by providing a superior product that enables smooth rotation and enhances the user's experience.
2. Photography and Video Production - The Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS accessory shows potential in the camera accessory market, particularly for smooth, hands-free 360 degree rotation, fostering new possibilities in film and photography.
3. Consumer Electronics - The Galileo Pan-Tilt iOS accessory has the opportunity to revolutionize the mobile holder market with its enhanced design, creating opportunities for competitors to innovate in the same space.
