The 2014 FIFA World Cup™ Production of the Final Match will pioneer a 360-degree viewing experience thanks to a panoramic, Ultra HD OmniCam developed by scientists at the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin.
Football fans will be able to re-live all the drama and emotion of the 13 July match between Germany and Argentina in this ground-breaking format for the first time at the new FIFA World Football Museum in Zürich, which is scheduled to open its doors to the public in early 2016.
The innovation is the latest visual technology to be introduced by FIFA as part of the production of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, alongside live 4K and 8K productions of matches and a multimedia revolution in sports entertainment.
Positioned at the halfway line, the OmniCam will record the complete stadium in one panoramic view. This means that soccer matches can be watched on the 360° or 180° screens of future panoramic cinemas, as if the viewer is sitting in the stadium watching the match in person.

Great, yet another tool for NSA spying....
.....on the other hand, you could check up on your kid at the ball game to make sure he's with the girl you think he's with.
Good luck to both teams. I find it hard to see past Germany but I don’t see a decisive win by Germany as against Brazil. I think there is a good chance it goes to Added Extra Time, 90 + 30 minutes.
One hour to kickoff. Let’s Go Deutschland!
Wow that is a real fight
Germany needs cam down and get to business
Wow what a battle!!!
Germany World Champions!
Neighbors going nuts
Have a good Party B_F !
