The Yellowbird Camera that records in 360 makes a photo 360 view look pretty one dimensional. Watch the demo video, you can press play and move the cursor in the direction that you want to see.
"A variant of the yellowBird camera is being utilized within the Google Streetview technology. The prominent difference is that the yellowBird camera records video instead of photographs. The camera uses six cleverly divided lenses in order to capture every possible viewing direction. The data stream generated by the camera is impressive. Through a double glass-fiber connection, a stream of 1200 Mbit per second is captured and saved in an uncompressed format. Next to the camera, a surround sound microphone system enables to record audio at 96 khz as well.

The yellowbird camera can be utilized in a variety of ways. First of all, videos can be captured from a regular tripod. Additionally the camera can be setup within a steadycam suit and "float" above the head of the camera operator. Furthermore, multiple connections support the camera to be mounted on a car or under a helicopter. "

Wow incredible!
Does anyone have any idea 1) what song this is, or 2) where it was filmed (looks wild... a music festival maybe?)

amazing, I love the part where the guy behind her just flips her off for 2 minutes straight, and the part where everyone looks like there from the 70s and never shower and then the stage explodes with fire and bombs. I got to get me one of these (and a trip to harry potter land)

Look, there's a stripper smacking her ass at 1:10 if you turn only 90 degrees to the right at the start of the movie.
