I wonder if online journalists are investigating the possibilities of this kind of innovative videos. These videos make it possible to pan across the 360° view. Not only useful for sports coverage, but in my opnion for almost every story that deserves a video. Until today, the multimedia features of the online news stay rather traditional. If online news want to be really innovative, they can start using this feature. Wonder which online news medium will be the first to use this kind of videos and how long it will take.
Ps. the picture is the camera used for the immersive videos. Looks expensive to me!

Michael, thank you for your post regarding our immersive videos. Did you know that you can now embed Flash versions of our immersive videos into your blog, social network page, or anywhere else on the web via the embed codes we are now releasing with most of our demo videos? You'll also find that you can pan throughout the sphere of view on our Shockwave versions of the demo videos you'll find just below the Flash versions on the same demo page.
We also believe that there is tremendous potential for the application of our technology in the online news arena.
Thanks again,

Hi Thomas,
Can you tell me how much this kind of camera (and postproduction) costs? My fear is that the use of immersive videos will be too high for online news producers ...
