An iPhone and a spinning platform have been used to create this 360-degree perspective. User journalien uploaded this clip less than two days ago, and it's already viral with almost 300,000 views to this point.

The iPhone is probably put on the spinning table, giving the illusion that everything is spinning, except the camera. The image gets blurry as the spinning platform increases speed, with the background losing detail as the objects in the forefront are introduced into the picture.

Pool balls, toys, and the author's hands come into play. As they appear in the shot, they create an interesting, mesmerizing dance that leaves users watching the clip dizzy, confused and somehow craving for more.
