What Galileo does is basically allow you to dock your iPhone on a 360 degree rotate and turn friendly device. So what is so special about that?
How about if you could remote control and program that turning ability?
The possibilities are pretty endless, like some of the things below.
1. You can be on FaceTime with a friend and remote control the movement to follow your friend as he/she moves around the room. (Works well for video conferences at work too)
2. A remote control baby monitor camera makes sure you do not miss any of the action
3. Create awesome steady panorama photos with 0 human error (Time lapse photography with slow panning action sounds pretty cool)
Note: Not officially supported by Apple yet, though I can see this being implemented on either FaceTime or a third-party app for sure
Those are some of the things that I can think off-hand, and I am sure you can think of even more. As they have already reached their target goal (With over 3 weeks to spare to boot), they have already started on production and are also hooking up with app developers to ensure there will be apps that support it on release.
It may seem abit costly at USD$85 for the product and an additional USD$20 for shipping but honestly this looks like a very useful thing to have. I can definitely see this become a popular gadget in the future and I am sure the over 1,000 backers for this project this so as well. You can see the Kickstarter video below or the project page for more info on how it works.
