Every once in awhile a new gadget surfaces that just blows my mind, and this throwable ball panoramic camera is one of those things. Equipped with 36, 2-megapixel mobile phone camera modules, the camera is designed to make a full 360-degree sphere panorama when thrown in the air.
Micro Eyes DVR Ball Camera is a new spy camera in the market; it’s a mini DVR camera that can fit virtually anywhere, and it is about the size of an average ping pong ball. Inside the compact shape is a motion activated camera and DVR that captures images at 30 FPS at 320×240 resolutions. It comes with a 128mb internal memory and can support up to a 2 gig micro SD card.

The ball camera uses 36 fixed-focus 2 megapixel mobile phone camera modules. The camera modules are mounted in a robust, 3D-printed, ball-shaped enclosure that is padded with foam and handles just like a ball. The ball camera is designed to take seamless, spherical panoramic photographs that capture every feature with equal clarity.
Thrown in the air, the camera captures an image as the highest point of its flight for the split second it is stationary between rising and falling. The camera ball can capture dynamic scenes without producing ghosting. The image can then be downloaded, viewed and manipulated on a spherical panoramic viewer installed on a computer. There were many problems that had to be solved to build the ball camera. The basic issue with other attempts at 360°panoramic photos has been that they depended upon stitching together precisely separated individual frames, frames often taken one after another.
This time differential introduced problems with moving objects that could be visible in two or more positions in the final picture. Additionally, the process itself simply took several minutes and that introduced other issues like changing light conditions and changes in the scene. The process also called for a lot of precise manual effort, moving the camera into the proper orientation for each image. Then the ball is caught normally in tow hands and the images downloaded and viewed on a special spherical image viewer.
