OT: Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera

[threelittleturds]

It's not hard to see potential in the sporting arena. What if this sort of camera was mounted inside the balls we use on the field in professional sports?

Can you imagine seeing Santonio Holmes' Super Bowl-winning catch against the Cardinals captured from the perspective of the ball, surrounded by a packed stadium and flying past some of the best athletes in the world? Or perhaps the moment just after Lionel Messi fires at goal, but just before the keeper extends to stop the shot?

"It would certainly be intriguing to try that," Pfeil told ThePostGame.com by email Thursday. "We only have a single prototype which we would rather not take into a basketball game. We did, however, take great care to build the prototype as durable as possible."

Of course it would take immense upgrades and immensely light cameras for such a concept to work in a regulation football or soccer ball, but you have to imagine an in-game version of the ball cam is coming. And after seeing this video, we can't wait.

I think their hopes are a little far fetched for a ball anytime soon, but maybe they could do something like this for a helmet? That might be pretty neat.
