A panoramic imaging apparatus and method for capturing a 360 degree outward looking panoramic image of a scene using a single, stationary camera, comprises a mirror in the shape of an inverted conical frustum, having an outward facing concavely shaped peripheral surface for reflecting light emanating from the 360 degree panoramic scene, a camera -- which may preferably be a still or video camera having a digital sensor such as a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor, but which may also be a conventional film based camera -- for recording the image projected by the concave conical frustum mirror, and a mounting system for attaching the camera to the mirror. The apparatus may also include a suitably programmed computer for dewarping and processing the image for display using a virtual reality display program.
