Instead of photographing from every angle you could capture with an array of cameras placed on the outside of a ~1m spheroid, similar to how Google captured their lightfield demos. Generating guassian splats with that data would allow for high quality, perspective correct imagery from any virtual camera placed within that sphere, sort of like a 360 degree photo (and eventually video) that looks totally convincing. Move your head outside the sphere and the effect would break, but I feel 1x1m would be enough to allow for enough freedom of movement to be comfortable. Capture could perhaps be somewhat portable with some clever engineering, think those expanding sphere ball toys.
