A variant of the yellowBird camera is utilized within the Google Streetview technology. The prominent difference is that the yellowBird camera records video instead of photographs. The camera uses six cleverly divided lenses in order to capture every possible viewing direction.

yellowBird videos can then be embedded on a web page using a special player. On the surface, it looks like a normal Flash video player… but it’s not. Whilst the video’s playing, you can drag the picture around to look wherever you want to look. It’s very cool. Take a look (it may take a little while to load):

There’s another yellowBird demo available here: http://tmobilesingalong360.co.uk
Or you can check out the yellowBird website at what’s got to be one of the silliest web addresses we’ve ever seen: http://www.yellowbirdsdonthavewingsbuttheyflytomakeyouexperiencea3dreality.com – good luck remembering that!

YouTube has added the option to watch videos in HD.

Any uploaded movies that are wider than 720px will give you the option to watch in High Definition.

Take a look at this…

Click here to view the embedded video.


…and then watch it again making sure you click on the ‘watch in HD’ link.

Be warned, you need a pretty fast connection. If it’s too slow, YouTube won’t even show you the ‘watch in HD’ link.

Bring it on.
