Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera

Designed by Jonas Pfeil, this ball has 36 cell phone camera sensors that allow it to take pictures a full 360 degrees (or 4*pi steradians for the nerds out there) around the entirety of the sphere. Meaning from ground to sky and everything in between. Pretty impressive. Just throw it in the air and it has a built in accelerometer that it uses to sense the when it's at it's highest point and then snaps the picture. It makes for some pretty neat shots that software can mesh together so you can fly through the area you took a picture of. And it foam padded so you don't have to worry about dropping it.
