1. An image capturing subsystem, comprising:
a first image capturing device mounted to a mounting structure;
a second image capturing device mounted to the mounting structure; and
a third image capturing device mounted to the mounting structure,
wherein the first image capturing device, the second image capturing device, and the third image capturing device are arranged in an octahedral array for capturing a 360 degree image,
wherein the first image capturing device, the second image capturing device, and the third image capturing device face outward from a center of an octahedral shape that defines the octahedral array, and
wherein image data captured by the first image capturing device, the second image capturing device, and the third image capturing device are combined to generate the 360 degree image.
