I think one major issue there is that all of the available video transmitters for FPV transmit in standard definition. You'd have a hard time spreading that over a sphere and being able to coble anything useful together.

Most of the FPV videos you see on youtube are not showing what the pilot saw in real time. They're showing you the HD that was recording on board the plane and retrieved after landing.

You don't really have to send the entire video feed from the camera, only the part your looking at. That way, most of the "software" is running remotely, and you also don't have a mechanical component to worry about.
