October 15, 2011 /Photography News/
Researchers at the Technical University of Berlin have come up with an
ingenious Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera. Developer Jonas Pfeil and
his colleagues created the ball to make it easier to capture a full
spherical panorama.
The concept device is a
throwable multi-sensor camera about the size of a cantaloupe that snaps a
single, instant 360-degree panorama. You simply toss the ball up and then retrieve the pics via
USB and see them in a special viewer.
Arranged around the ball are 36 2-megapixel fixed-focus cellphone
cameras. When the ball is thrown, they fire simultaneously at the apex
of the ball’s flight, capturing the scene in every direction (including the photographer).
What's even more amazing about this device is it is built in such a way
that once it's thrown in the air it automatically takes the picture at
the highest point.

The entire camera is packed into a 3D-printed ball-shaped enclosure that
is padded with foam, so it’ll probably survive a landing if you can’t
catch it.
Pfeil will be showing off the sphere at Siggraph Asia 2011 in December. The patent is pending.

This is a really cool concept as you can get a 360 pano on the altitudes and locations not otherwise possible with a tripod, but the quality will probably be always mediocre as it's all moving and shaking.. the idea is ingenious though! Looking forward to seeing it in the stores.
