Spherical Panoramas

[ghking]

Hello
This christmas, I'm getting a Kodak Z812 IS and Loepard. So I was looking online for cool digital photography projects and I came across sites with these really cool spherical panoramas that you can navigate around in. I have made regular panoramas with Hugin, but these look way different. What would I need to start making these besides the Kodak?

thanks for the link that helps a lot.

Any recommendations for the easiest freeware program that does this?
