Good point, the sensor count exponentiates and the optics get a lot more complicated if you want a fully integrated system. Nothing on the market I know of but with where we are on the scaling curves now might be the time to try something like it - you could put together a basic proof of concept with a load of commercial sensor elements and wide angle lenses on a sphere. Eventually you can consolidate the central sensors and lenses into concentric hemispheres. You can reduce the data volume by narrowing the camera angles eventually too

Not sure there’s a market but maybe with VR stereo 360 becomes more valuable, who knows. Technologically doable though

(It would look like kind of like a dragonfly eye)

Mind blown. Can insects get depth perception with just one eye?
