Here's something cool. Recent startup TechTol specializes in near-instantaneous 360 degree photo captures, which can then be displayed via Flash in a web browser. The whole process from capture to display is less than a minute.
Uses for this range from product pages to educational and medical apps and beyond. As a bonus for 3D fans, the system also allows instant stereoscopic views. No word yet on costs involved.
