It takes many hours to acquire such photos if I recall correctly. This might
be less than ideal for real-time footage...

The following was published a few days ago:

http://www.news.wisc.edu/12105.html

so you might be able to handle the data stream quickly enough some day in the
future.

Terabit image = 32 bits x 1,000,000,000,000 pixels = 4,000,000,000,000 bytes
= 4 terabytes

taking the square root, you can an idea about then vertical-horizontal
dimensions

then multiplying by 25 (frames) you get a perabyte to process every 10
seconds. Where would you even store this thing?
