With the world becoming increasingly paranoid about security, this 360-degree camera and lens from Olympus makes a whole lot of sense when you think surveillance. The camera literally has eyes at the back of its head and it can capture images just like the Google Maps Street View Dodeca 2360 camera with a single lens. Capturing a 360-degree horizontal image with a 180-degree vertical view, the camera can work wonders for security companies as well as video conference services that would be able to beam a whole room full of people with a single camera. Thanks to a super high resolution, kick ass software and accurate directional microphone, the camera can also pinpoint the speaker and capture them in a perfect picture without any mechanical panning. With capabilities like that, can you imagine what this thing could do for live sports broadcasts?
