The Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera

The Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera by Jonas Pfeil looks amazing. It's a ball that holds "36 fixed-focus 2 megapixel mobile phone camera modules", it's padded with foam, and has an accelerometer to help it determine the highest point. The explain it as:

The camera is thrown into the air and captures an image at the highest point of flight - when it is hardly moving. The camera 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.

Check out the site and watch the video, it shows the ball camera and has a few examples. I'd like to get my hands on one of these.
