Hasta La Ideas

Kogeto, the Brooklyn-based lens company behind “Lucy,” the “world’s most advanced panoramic camera,” launched the Kickstarter campaign for the “Dot“—the iPhone 4 version of their lens attachment—a couple weeks ago, surpassing their goal of $20,000 three times over by the end of the first week, when they received an early round of press. (NY Design Week and it’s aftermath are no excuse for sleeping on this one.)

Snap dot onto your iPhone 4 and step into the future. In an instant you can capture fully immersive 360-degree videos and share them with friends and family—all in a package that slips easily into you pocket. The first time you use Dot, you won’t believe what your phone is capable of.

With Dot, there’s no need to miss events like a wedding, birthday, or family holiday because you’re too busy trying to capture it on camera. Just put Dot on the table and forget about her—she sees and hears everything. So you can do what you’re supposed to do at these things—enjoy yourself.

In any case, it’s easily one of the more notable iPhone 4 accessories that we’ve come across, and you can get in on the 360° action at Kickstarter.
