In the cool-new-photo-product category, here's a unique tool for photographing a panorama of a scene: the Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera.
The ball uses 36 2-megapixel cameras that simultaneously record a 360-degree spherical image. How to fire the shutter? Throw the ball in the air. When it reaches its apex, the image is made.
No commercial release has been announced, but count me as one who would be interested in buying this. Though the image quality is lacking, the fun potential is sky-high.
