Very interesting. Reminds me a bit of the demo you did with the “bug” eye lens for shifting focus and getting 3d. With software becoming more developed, we will see more and more of the capability of stitching together images to create amazing products. A hybrid of this ball and the bug eye lens comes to mind. Perhaps other applications like multiple lenses on borescopes and being able to create 3D virtual images inside of the body or other confined spaces.

It’s very important to recognize that this is the first of it’s kind. I love to see things in their infancy. This type of camera will be awesome in 5 years.

I would get only one photo from this ball, for the same reason that I failed my junior high school basketball class. :-)

That’s quite awesome, then they need to talk to your engineers to stitch that more clean in photoshop :)

Their web site doesn’t mention what happens if:
1. The ball is spinning at a high rate
2. You don’t catch the ball
