Qatar Cat, the technique isn’t new. I’ve seen it used often in museums, encyclopaedic software, and even toys sold to tourists. It’s the “feel like you’re there” type of circular picture, only taken in a different way. Vertical rather than horizontal. I would hazard that a video was taken and edited to achieve this.
There are also panoramic cameras that can take photographs like this. Basically, a strip of film is exposed along a length of film that would equal to a whole 8-frames, or more, of negative film.
I am totally stealing this and posting on my blog!

LOOL!! Coool indeed. Where did you get it from? :-p
Totally awesome!
Very neat.
It works even better on a webpage, as one has to scroll down to get the whole effect.
Wow! But…. how????
