While at NAB2014 in Las Vegas earlier this week I stumbled upon a small company
(http://www.video-stitch.com/) with a 360 degree video product offering. Their
product was actually software running on a computer that stitches together the
streams from four video cameras.
The resulting stream is fed into an Oculus Rift VR headset. You can look around
the scene in a very natural way, the systems rendering the stream that most
correctly reflect your current perspective.
The camera arrangement very closely resembled the tetrahedral array of
microphones common to Soundfield mics. I took a pic with my phone.

The company had no knowledge of Ambisonics, but said that processing audio
corresponding to the spherical video was on their wish list. I gave them a
brief introduction and showed them a picture of a Core Sound Tetra mic to get
them started down the path.
They seemed to be quite enthusiastic about it.
