Did you read? This thing takes video in all directions at once. Can you pan around your video while it is playing from the GoPro? Try the example embedded in the article

I wonder how big the helmet is?

My question is: Why did they CGI the helmet in? Nothing attaches the camera to the helmet and the reflections on the helmet don't change.

I read that part but only after I watched the video the second time did I see the instructions as the video autoplayed the first time. Only then did I see you need to use your mouse to view in 360'

Its a nice idea but lacked clear instructions.

Because the FOV can't get there (since that is where the camera attaches)

I guess it looks better than a black hole?

"Cool," I thought. "Maybe they're doing something interesting with the video," I thought. Turns out disappointment lurked close by: http://blog.froztbyte.net/2013/02/how-makingview-works/

Worked fine for me the first time...

If they know what html5 is why does their website require Flash?

How did you think they did it? Have a group of people constantly riding down a hill in real time?

Agreed, this was one of the technology demos in the HTML5 intro.

But I have 9 ACTi cameras that do 360 continiously as well and they are as flat as a plate on the ceiling of each area. Resolution can be up to HD
