oneshot panorama

After seeing the One Shot systems , costing several hundreds of dollars, I built a budget version of my own just for fun, using a glass ball ( from a christmas tree ) and some other items ( screws and a cd cover ). Although not the same quality as the real ones Its fun to use and was cheap ( $7 ).
Heres a panorama from a basket ball hoop I took today....

The thing looks like this...

I love this.
What software did you use to finish the pano?
You have to provide more information on your cheep test of single shot systems.
best regards,
Robert

Its just the polar Coordinates filter in Photoshop that unwraps the image.
I thought I needed some special software but it seems to work fine.

I built it after the Kaidan look, but using a christmas mirror ball instead of a parabolic mirror.
You can see a more detailed image of it at...
..and see the concept. For other aproaches there is a nice page with images of all 360 solutions since the 70's at...

thanks for the larger pic, that does help some. I can see the nuts and bolts better. What is the cage looking device and the round item on the very bottom. Do you have a picture with you camera mounted to the device?
I also tried to click on the link you supplied but it was dead.
thanks again

In the bottom there is a filter ring so I can mount it on the camera, facing up.
The cage thing is just to get the right distance from the lens to the ball , it has no other function ( it is originally a thing to keep letters in??? fromTaiwan I found in my hardware toolshop ).

So If I understand correct, from top to bottom the materials would be:
1 Silver Christmas ball
2 Nut
3 Bolt
4 Nut
5 washer
6 Top of CD cd cover spindle (this is glued to #8)
7 Nut
8 some type of item to get the proper distance (in your case a mail holder)
9 cardboard (this is glued to #8)
10 filter ring inserted in the cardboard
Q1 How did you determine the distance need for the bolt and the "mail holder"
Q2 What type of filter ring did you use?

Nice stuff Pelle Piano, could you show us the original photo before correction?
Also had a problem getting to your site even after reinstalling flash, must be something wrong with quicktime?

Maybe you should package and sell, your resolution is cleaner than my 1-360 mirror!

Do you have the java sources available for the applet class file? I'd very excited to see it. Promise I won't share with anyone.
