The Launch of the Panoscan Camera: This date marks a milestone in digital panography with the release of the first high-speed rotating-line sensor camera for professional 360-degree views.

Todays Challenge: "The Digital Scan." Capture a panorama using your phone's "Pano" mode. As you sweep, look for a "straight line" (like a wall or a road) and try to keep it perfectly level in the center of the scan.

Pano Inspiration: Digital "scanning" panoramas work by taking a single vertical line of pixels thousands of times per second as the camera rotates.
