Title:

I will most likely not make it to the IAPP meeting this year. But is sound like a fun discussion.
In my cursory exploration of rotating cameras I failed to consult the Panoramic Timeline on the IAPP site. There you will find that an M. Garella in England made and patented a rotating camera in 1857! Damn the glass plate, full spin ahead . . .
