Catadioptric lenses (telescope-like) have been around a long time ago for very long lenses. The mirror is, as far as I understand, cast plastic. Overall optical performance should be ok for CCTV security, but I'm not sure how it would perform for high rez photo.
Plus you won't get rid of the small black spot in the centre where the camera is, not speaking of the fixture image.
Clever design, though...

I hope he has good intentions, because this pic isn't going to help bust the bad guys.

Interesting view. :)

This equipment is not useful for CG panorama shots, but could be the base for a simple 360° equipment - the special mirror must be replaced by a mirror ball and at the top of the transparent half sphere could be snaped a small standard digital camera. This small apparatus could be simple placed (like shown in image 2 above) everywhere. If the camera support exposure series (f.ex. 3 images with -1/0/+1 f-stop), than we could fast produce own HDRIs.

Do somebody know a small customer digital camera that support series exposure with more than 3 steps?
