New Rising Media Will Be At Gadget Show Live 2013

The Gadget Show Live has been an amazing event for New Rising Media to cover, and I'm proud to announce we will be heading back again to cover this year's event!

BubbleScope And BubblePix Hands On

Panoramic photography has always had its difficulties.  There's always the strong likelihood that you may go too fast or too slow in one of the shot frames, leaving for an unwanted deformation of the picture.  Then there's the sight of a person spinning in one spot, looking like a fool and visually demonstrating just what you look like doing the same.
