There is every possibility of something close to this coming to market. Not every device needs to sell in the millions.

I was around since the Battle of Hastings actually, so it's not a typo.

Thank you for noticing ;)

Prague was 3 hours per dataset. I was there for 3 days in the cold and rain, shooting multiple datasets, from 8am to 4pm last year in November.

Sure there is, you can paste a satellite photo of the ground where you shot the photo from ;-)

They are shot with a dSLR and a very long lens. This one was likely shot with a 300mm lens. The camera is mounted on a programmable robot, and a mosaic of photos is created. They are then stitched together with software such as PTGui or kolor Autopano Giga. I've shot a number of images like this, in fact some of them over 4x bigger than this one. My largest one, of Prague, was released 2 weeks ago: http://360gigapixels.com/prague_gigapixel_panorama_900K_2018....
