Lego Mindstorms 360° Photobot for Gear VR

I found this video a week or so ago showing how to create 360° spherical photos that can be viewed in the Samsung/Oculus Gear VR.  It works nicely, but it is both tedious and error-prone trying to manually capture all the images needed for a full spherical picture.  I figured it would be much more convenient if something could automatically move the camera appropriately.  Enter the Lego Mindstorms 360° Photobot for Gear VR! 

This video on YouTube shows how it works.  It's not perfect--you can definitely see the stitching, especially on photos of relatively small spaces. 

Here's a sample photo of me and my daughter playing Minecraft taken using the photobot. ( Yes, the room is a complete mess.  I've been playing with Lego instead of being a grown-up!) 

This photo also shows something else that the photobot enables--being in your own 360° picture.  The selfie-360 is born! 

Now, what I would really love to do is capture 360° stereo photos!  The sense of space is pretty decent without stereo, but stereo would certainly add a lot to the effect, especially for small spaces.
