> Furthermore, they do "online" live-stitching while doing panoramas This way it may be used for even creating video "on-the-go" with standalone camera position (with low FPS it may be useful for landscape timelaps video capture or panoramic webcam) - and as a result it could be cheaper alternative to such things as Facebook's Surround 360[0,1] DIY 3D-360 video capture system. Just as addition to software part it would require to design some sort of automatically rotated "panoramic tripod head" hardware synchronized with camera photo capture control (to take photos).
