3DVista - panoramic photos in one shot

A friend asked me about taking some shots of their flat today and was wondering how estate agents take those 360 shots of rooms. Well, he found THIS very cool tool... the 3DVista one shot lens. Takes 360 degree panoramics in one shot, and unwarps the shot with included software. Very handy if you're an estate agent, or even for landscape shots.

Wow, looks like a cannon to me. With weight of 16kg, need a lot of muscle to mingle and move it around.
