That's nothing.

The Japanese did it decades ago:

Nice one. Seems that it would be easier with old digital cameras,
though.

But how image will be stitched with this camera rig using Hugin ?  It will be hard to stitch due to parallax error. But one time effort to a successful stitch will be enough.Than just Point click and stitch with template :)

Hi all,

it's time to put this into perspective before it gets out of hand.

What you see is a Japanese "Chindōgu", not a panoramic rig:

Chindōgu is the Japanese art of inventing ingenious everyday gadgets that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a particular problem. However, chindōgu has a distinctive feature: anyone actually attempting to use one of these inventions would find that it causes so many new problems, or such significant social embarrassment, that effectively it has no utility whatsoever. Thus, chindōgu are sometimes described as "unuseless" – that is, they cannot be regarded as 'useless' in an absolute sense, since they do actually solve a problem; however, in practical terms, they cannot positively be called "useful."
