This is an amazing looking camera. It takes panoramas by downloading vertical strips of image information directly to the connected PC. Besides, being automatically stitched together into a 360 degree image, the camera also captures 26 F stops of lighting information AND accurate distance information to every pixel in the image.
This video shows a demonstration and interview with Bus. Mgr. Peter Taylor.
I don't know how they accomplish the latter trick - they don't really have parallax information since the capture comes from a single lens.

This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz Fusion on a Fedora 8 GNOME desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 here). With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop.

This page explains the measurement technique:

The DO use parrallax; you have to take two images, with the tripod cranked up to raise the camera for one of them. Then you have to click on the point in question in both images by hand (presumably, they could have software that tries to correlate pixels between the two spheres w/o the manual step and derive a 3D model from the two images).
