Involved directly in SBIR very briefly soon after the firm was founded - but did not proceed to a "formal' Phase II on their only SBIR project - with the Navy, FullView had been founded in 2000 by the firm's founding (still) President) in a collaboration with Bell Labs Research â the former the inventor of the FullView camera, and the latter his employer at the time. Cameras developed by the firm (and cohorts) provide live, up-to-360° panoramic video with each of the firm's "cameras" in fact comprised of multiple cameras looking out in different directions off mirrors, rather than directly - a design feature that allows the provision of artifact-free composite images. The technology for these cameras had been invented in 1995 at Bell Labs Research, the birthplace of numerous innovations and discoveries, such as the transistor, the CCD camera, the C++ programming language and The Sampling Theorem. FullView® cameras are ideal for Internet use as each of them allows any number of remote users to view the same scene live, fully, simultaneously and independently â with each user free to pan, tilt and zoom in any direction without affecting any other user's ability to do the same independently FullView® cameras have found use in defense and videoconferencing: after supporting R&D at FullView for over a decade, the U.S. Navy deployed FullView cameras on its latest generation of aircraft carriers to monitor and record aircraft landings and takeoffs from below
