During the Monaco Yacht Show, Panoblu's product expert, Sascha Kunze, shared his thoughts on how the Panoblu 360° imaging system enhances life onboard yachts. From documenting unique journeys to improving onboard safety, Sascha shares his insights into how Panoblu's technology benefits owners, guests, and crew.
What Makes Panoblu Essential for Modern Superyachts?
"Modern superyachts are the epitome of technology. Panoblu has developed the highest resolution 360° camera available in the market — over 100-megapixel camera sensors that take stunning 360° photos of everywhere the yacht's been and is. You have those memories forever."
How Does Panoblu Enhance the Yachting Experience?
"An owner using Panoblu SeaView will always know where their yacht is and where it has been. They can basically retrace their steps and have a complete record of everywhere the yacht has visited — experiencing those locations over and over again from wherever they are in the world. Whether they're reliving an Arctic voyage months later, or recalling a stunning sunset in the Bahamas, they can do it any time."
Why is Panoblu a Perfect Match for Explorer Yachts?
"For explorer yachts going into uncharted waters, Panoblu SeaView is specifically relevant because you are exploring. You can capture coastlines, understand glaciers and have that data as scientific information — for map making, for reliving experiences, for documentation. And now with Panoblu IR, you can see that at night as well. You can spot heat signatures earlier and really see what's happening."
How Does the System Contribute to Safety?
"Safety is all about awareness, and Panoblu gives you omni-awareness wherever you are and whatever you're doing — because it is 360°, so you see everything, all the time, all at once. With the infrared system we bring that to nighttime vision. You see approaching boats from whatever direction they're coming — you don't need to point the camera in that direction, you just see it."
What's Next for Panoblu?
"Panoblu is continuously innovating in the 360° imaging market. We will continue to push those boundaries, offering higher resolution, faster live streams and more awareness. AI helps with these things a lot — early detection warning systems are all going to be part of the experience for Panoblu, enhancing safety onboard and allowing captains and owners to experience the yacht over and over again."
