In looking around for Immersive Media video, what was surprising was that they now seem to have porn online?http://www.digitalplayground.com/v360.php (very NSWF), in a video watermarked with Immersive Media's name and in their player.So why would someone buy a very expensive system when you can do the same work with your iPhone now?Would be nice to see a follow up article on these people. BTW, it's some of the worst looking porn video despite the 360 spherical feature ever filmed.

Their Flash Implementation or the real video? Hopefully not the Armani ad, that's not using their new Flash technology AFAIK. @mike_j What are you basing this one?

Its a blurry mess and has buffering problems on a very high speed connection. Give it a few years. Interesting idea but really lousy image quality.
