hello
If you?re like me you love 360� panoramic pictures, but trying to get a good one is hampered by having to be very precise with overlapping, lighting and other factors.�Using 36 fixed focus 2 megapixel Camera modules and an accelerometer used to measure launch acceleration, the Panoramic Ball captures a full spherical �panoramic view at the highest point of flight when it?s hardly moving. The ball is padded with foam ( just in case you don?t catch it 
) and once the photo is taken can easily be downloaded via USB into a special spherical panoramic viewer.
Starting as a Diploma Thesis, this concept will be shown at SIGGRAPH Asia 2011�as the Emerging Technologies demonstration.
Let?s hope someone picks this up and starts funding a commercial version.
Check out the video at Jonas Pfeil?s Website�( You really do have to see it to fully understand and appreciate )
