I thought I had seen it before. So it was patent pending in 2011, guess it takes a while in Germany too.

One of the downsides of the new Kickstarter/Indiegogo etc world is I keep seeing article on new "products" which don't exist yet. Interesting that the time to print time has shortened and now come inside the 'time to produce' margin. I think we need some backup words for these things, like "Possibly a new camera that can take panoramas"



Well to be fair, the camera exists, you just can't buy it yet. But perhaps it would be good to have some way of differentiating headlines about buyable products from prototypes/research projects etc.
