PANONO HISTORY
The development of the Panono Camera began as part of Panono founder and CEO Jonas Pfeil’s master’s thesis in computer engineering at Technical University of Berlin. In 2011, to much acclaim, he presented a prototype of his throwable panoramic ball camera at the prestigious SIGGRAPH ASIA technical conference, and in 2012, co-founded Panono with fellow TU Berlin graduates Björn Bollensdorff and Qian Qin to refine the camera and bring it to market. In 2014, the company completed a highly successful crowdfunding campaign, launching the new design, announcing the camera’s name, and raising $1.2 million. Later that year, Panono conducted a crowdinvesting campaign on Companisto, where it raised another €1.6 million.
