Close-up image of a wave hitting the shore on a beach in Ipswich, England, UK. Taken with a GoPro wearable camera, I like the angle of the shot and the texture of the wave.

This thing is straight out of another old idea of mine, but far cooler than what I thought up. I was hoping that Elph S230s, my currert camera, would get cheap enough that I could get a bunch of them, maybe even in a bulk clearance, and build a head-mounted sphere with all the cams wired together to a single shutter button for taking not only complete 360° pictures, which you can do a number of other, easier ways, but for taking full wrap-around-and-up movies, which is much harder. I even drew up sketches of how I might mount the cameras, and did some work with my camera to see it's widest field of view, and how many cameras I'd need, and in what positions, etc. I imagined I'd use regular stitching software and try to figure out how the images had been stitched to build a movie-stitcher that would simply do the same warping and joining on the movies on a per-frame basis, since the cam positions would be locked.
Well, it was a nice daydream, but just too difficult, and too cost-prohibitive for me to ever hobby one together, which is why I was quite elated to see the old dream realized in such a sweet Imperial surveillance droid of a wearable recording device. This is Immersive Media's Telemmersion® System, and there's a great Flash demo on their site. They built it able to mount to anything, and in this case it's mounted to a backpack that one exhibitor wore around the convention to drum up interest. The next image shows the kind of thing you get when you film with such a wonderful device.
For the record, I did not come up with a sweet rounded dodecahedron, nor did I realize how much easier shell-less circuit board cams would make things. Oh, and of course, I never actually made anything :)
