My 2 cents:
The Dizzy video frames were almost certainly shot in a spherical
mirror with the lens pointing straight down, which would give the
"little planet" view without any processing. Probably from a moving
car, whose nose and tail have been hidden under the vertical "stage"
on which the performer performs.
The panos on the GardenGnome site, on the other hand, are true
panoramic movies, and very impressive.
Now, is anyone yet able to make 3-D (that is, stereoscopic)
panoramas? or panoramic movies?? That _WOULD_BE_WAY_COOL_

My peripheral vision is about 180 and it's out of my peripheral vision I pick up a lot of information. The ability to move one's head around while keeping the peripheral vision view is important.

For films this means processing two sets of almost identical film. With low end video equipment, the cost would be on the processing power of the individual.

This would require more effort, as it would require a "reporting" team to get audo interaction between two people or about objects within the panorama. This is great for live events or museams.
> 4. "Live". This i see as almost impossible, but not quite. Stitching six different "live" video feeds with small delays would make it truly a immersive experience. The videographer could be fitted with a earpiece and then under the control of a web viewer (one at a time) could be directed to interview individuals or inspect objects. This would be truely live television.
> 5. The implications of "live" panoramas are enourmous. For example, a team of indivudals with various "light" seeing cameras and and motion detection technologoy (all of which are availabe to us - in linux no less :) ) could walk through hostile situations with "an extra set of eyes" watching what they are watching as a margin of saftey allowing the "human" factor to stay involved. This would take field agents out of the field, put them behind the saftey of a screen or panoramic room.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH_zW_B20XI... it has a small description about how it was made, it looks pretty much like the dizzee's video.
