SPHERON-VR will be back at SIGGRAPH this year showing an updated version of their prototype HDR video camera cable of 50x EXR fps, with each frame containing 20 f-stops of range.  To generate some buzz, they’ve released a video of some life-action shot with the camera and show how you can dynamically adjust the lighting settings to get the desired result.

‘Throughout Spheron VR’s successful growth, we have always focused on being at the cutting edge of research into digital imaging technology’ said Spheron’s founder and CEO Mr.Gerhard Bonnet, ‘showing this content publicly is yet another important milestone in our company’s history of achievements’

The video shows several ‘stare at a bright light’ tricks, along with true motion blur in HDR and other stunts.  The results are impressive, although I think Vimeo somewhat crushes the amazing range. See the video below, and the ‘real thing’ at SIGGRAPH Booth 1011.
