The screen on the bottom is a preview screen with the best way to view the images on a computer.

The camera features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB 2, a 14 megapixel sensor and will come with a stand. There is a demonstration of the results on their website, and is described as a consumer version of something like Gigapan. The lens is a panamorph lens that enables such a wide view, and due to the camera knowing the distortion in the lens, it can automatically correct for it.
