Film Grenade: A Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera

The camera “captures an image at the highest point of flight—when it is hardly moving.” It “takes full spherical panoramas, requires no preparation and images are taken instantaneously. It can capture scenes with many moving objects without producing ghosting artifacts and creates unique images.”

And I love the article’s last line: “It’s a kind of reverse-firework: rather than release light into the sky, it steals traces of the light it finds there.”
