The Pancam, by Mark Hauenstein, is a low cost digital camera that makes infinitely long panoramic images. Once attached to the window of a moving car, train, boat, plane, Pancam captures a stream of images similar to a video camera. The images are then assembled by a PC application that links together the central strip of each consecutive frame into one single long strip.

The result is a map of the journey undertaken, with spatial and visual traces, but it gives also temporal information that reveal the changes of speed and movement of the vehicle.

Finally the whole image can be printed on a long roll of paper on an ordinary printer or as strips on standard sheets of paper.
