There is plenty of software on the market, some better than others. Hard to believe, there still is a free one out there as well.

Virtual Tour Software - 360 Degrees of Freedom
Flash Panorama Software | 360 degrees Panorama
Panorama Software - Virtual Tour Software - Easypano
FREE: Virtual tour software, 3d panorama software from pixaround.com

And if you're serious about your gear, here are some panoramic tripod heads:

I was wondering if there is any device which can take a 360 photo at a time( maybe has 2 or 3 cameras). I need it professionally, and I need to be able do take such pics in scenes with moving people.
