I really like that - it took some time to work out what I was seeing. The planking is great for this technique.

I'm always on the lookout for symmetrical locations as they can make interesting abstract images when treated this way. I must confess I don't know how confusing these are to new eyes given that I'm very familiar how it really looks Having spent the best part of an hour processing the images that made it!

I notice the BBC are using the technique for the Euros.

360 degree video is an emerging technology but I feel it's more difficult to direct the action given the audience can be looking somewhere other than where the action should be. Maybe in a film environment, the image could automatically be swung to the action or audio cues given to draw the viewer's attention to it. Could certainly give some scares hearing footsteps behind you, you look over your shoulder only to hear a ear-shattering roar in front from one of HR Giger's finest! (Alien)


Incidentally, the image at the top is taken from this view (click image to see an interactive version - yes navigation is a bit of a pain!)

They are using it for the Euro graphics for the program opening, etc.
