I spent a lot of time in late 99-2001 playing around with some of the prototypes IPIX was working on at the time. They had some of the best 360 stitched photography i'd ever seen, they'd built a quasi in-expensive adaptor for the Nikon cameras (The model that twisted in the middle), and were prototyping some really awesome 360 video tech. I think the best video I saw was a prototype helmet they'd put on users, allowing them to see stitched 360 footage from the perspective of a motorcycle riding through the Appalachians.

It makes me wonder how things would have turned out if a few of those companies had worked together rather than individually trying to solve the same problems.

I presume people from those companies, for the most part, went on to build (together) similar stuff in bigger companies like Google once their initial companies folded.
