That's why professional photographers don't use cell phones for their work. Great optics result in great images. To take full advantage of the advances in today's cameras, better optics are needed. For example, if you had a 50 megapixel camera, and match- ing optics, you could "punch out" either a 4K or HD segment from the panoramic video, and use it for broadcast. The qual- ity will be that good. Designing high-performance wide- angle optics is a specialty skill that few companies possess. Those who can cre- ate high-quality panoramic optics will drive the next wave of advances in the industry. Want to see advanced optics in action? RemoteReality has been building panoramic optics for more than 10 years. Its approach is to create optics that exploit the full capability of cameras and Advanced Optics ( Cont'd. from p. 4) use available bandwidth (up to 4g) and display quality (up to 4K) to deliver real- time broadcast quality panoramic video. Today it delivers professional quality panoramic video for commercial and military use, so the company is uniquely positioned to partner with you to help you differentiate your products.

OPOBOTICS INTRODUCES SOPO, THE PERSONAL ROBOT Opobotics Inc. designs and develops per- sonal robots and programs. It is a compa- ny that believes in bringing people together, one robot at a time. It has embarked upon an adventure with end- less possibilities, the extension of the personal computer. The complex trip from concept to consumer has been guid- ed by a dedicated group, all working toward the same goal: a personal robot that everyone can enjoy. With the technology available today, Opobotics has begun to develop high-quality, affordable robots which will soon be helping us at home and in our schools. To start things off, the company has developed a robot plat- form that is entertaining, educational, easy to use and can be connected to your computer, phone or tablet. Opobotics wanted this robot to have a place in the home, schools, and among friends and family. The first generation of personal robots from Opobotics Inc. is here, introducing Sopo. Sopo was developed to inspire children as well as adults to learn more about programing, without the need to worry about complicated coding. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) software, from EZ-Robot, enables Sopo to easily be programmed by anyone. Sopo is a robot you can really personalize! Opobotics Inc. was founded in 2012 and is based in Rocky Mount, N.C. Visit Opobotics at booth #72243.
