158-lens camera breaks Guinness world record

In case you were wondering which camera has the Guinness World Record for the most lenses, wonder no further. The Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan has fashioned a camera with the 158 lenses pictured above.

CrunchGear reports (based on this MSN Japan article) that the academic team put it together to shoot 3D images with CT technology of a swaying flame from the most angles possible. Developed over the course of six months, the apparatus is 2.8-inches high and 18.5-inches in diameter.

I'm curious as to what other subjects they will be using this to photograph in the future. Any ideas?
