Unless you live in a small Amish village, the chances are that at some point you've seen a 360-degree panoramic photo.

Google Street View is perhaps the most popular 360-degree panoramic experience on the web; however, we've stumbled across something which makes it look a bit, well, pedestrian.

Red Bull has released a video of former Torro Rosso driver, and current Red Bull test driver, Sebastian Buemi blasting a Formula One car around the Rudskogen Motorsenter circuit in Norway. However, unlike most on-board footage you've ever seen, this video is fully interactive.

It's the creation of a company by the name of Making View AS. What they've done is fit a special spherical camera to the top of the car to record a full panoramic experience. Being fully interactive, you can use your mouse or keyboard arrow keys to swivel left and right and up and down to see the footage from all angles.
