Watch a concert or take a drive through Haiti with 360-degree interactive video.
Ski down Whistlerr, watch a marketing-infused music video, go whale watching, or watch a stadium being demolished from the inside (previously).
The technology is obviously still in its infancy, but it's not hard to imagine it cropping up more in the future.

Oh god... this is going to make me seriously want to do this exact thing on EVERY video. What a crazy bit of kit going into making street view/panoramic work dynamically across video. Shit.
Seriously though, I suppose it has to be pushing through one comprehensive video stream that includes all the footage from all the cameras stitched together, and you're just changing your viewport or something like that, because anything else wouldn't be terribly efficient, but this is pretty awesome. It gives you this other-worldly "holy shit, I feel like I'm there" effect.
Let's see HTML 5 do this...

I love Muse, and I must say. That is pretty much the best thing.

Oh, wow. All concert videos should be like that from now on. Multiple pannable cameras.
