Technology for Capturing 360 Degree Video
Inzite writes "EnterNetica R&D is working on a new spherical video technology for capturing and presenting full 360 degree scenes using a 180 degree lens, by adaptively predicting the camera's surroundings. Video extrapolation techniques have been proposed in the past, but this is the first time I've heard of an entire hemisphere of the video image being "guessed". The article also talks about feature film presentation using fully-immersive video in the future."
...a 360 Degree TV to watch it!
Circumcision is child abuse.
Whilst the camera is looking the other way, someone could easily show in a message saying:

but nobody would notice.
something tells me that something like this could usher in a new era of pr0n. 3d goggles and a vibrating chair, oh my!

Well duh, they can't put two cameras back to back and take a 360 degree photo, that would be against the laws of physics. And man you do not want to be pulled over by god for a physics violation, that is a bad scene.

This way we can be INSIDE of a pr0n movie!
No frickin way!
Assuming that the slashdotted article also describes a 360 degree viewing screen, you'd be looking at the porn in front of you, getting all aroused, and then you'd look behind you and see the filming crew with the dodgy looking pron director and his clapper.
This would totally ruin the experience, IMO.
He let me off with a warning.
with the dodgy looking pron director and his clapper. So that's what you kids are calling it today.

Or you could, like, duct tape a bunch of cheaper camers into, like, a ball.
Yeah, but us black guys would always end up dying somehow mid-ways through the picture.
The eternal struggle of good vs. evil begins within one's self.
If you run really fast you'll disappear in the compression artefacts.
True confidence comes not from realising you are as good as your peers, but that your peers are as bad as you are.
