Like a real-life rendition of Super Mario Galaxy, Jonas Ginter has built a mechanism that lets him capture 360 degree sperical panoramas using mostly off-the-shelf mechanisms. You can find out a bit more about the process on his site (it's in German) or download a variation of the mount he's using from Thingiverse. I hope he posts more about the process, so we can see how he manages to remove the tripod from the shots. (h/t to )
