<div>Sweet, I totally missed that!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Is anyone actively working on integrating that functionality into &#39;record&#39; or making it available as a seperate activity?</div>

&gt; -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>&gt; Hash: SHA1<br>&gt;<br>&gt; The XO happens to be perfect for shooting stitched panoramic photographs, due to<br>&gt; the swivel design.&nbsp;&nbsp;I tested it out in the OLPCHQ lobby. Then, I wrote a simple<br>
&gt; panorama stitcher in 50 lines of Python.&nbsp;&nbsp;It runs in 3.4 seconds on my Core Duo,<br>&gt; producing this output:<br>&gt;<br>&gt; <a href="http://people.fas.harvard.edu/~bmschwar/lobby_ugly.jpg">http://people.fas.harvard.edu/~bmschwar/lobby_ugly.jpg</a><br>
&gt;<br>&gt; The results aren&#39;t too bad.&nbsp;&nbsp;I also tried stitching this scene with Hugin, the<br>&gt; most powerful panorama stitcher I know of.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hugin required significant user<br>&gt; intervention and half an hour of computing time, producing this output:<br>

&gt; Given this positive result, I would like to work on a panorama-making activity,<br>&gt; possibly inside Capture.&nbsp;&nbsp;I know that at age 10, I loved making panoramas out of<br>&gt; photographs.&nbsp;&nbsp;Panoramas provide an immersive way for children to communicate<br>
