That all sounds like marketing. What is the technical explanation? Are multiple pans from differing positions required, images viewed with differing reconstructed projections, one of those superwide 360° mirror things, or something else?

The underlying concept is quite simple. It's a single rotation, and then all of the frames are aligned in realtime while you view it. Eg. if you rotate around 360 degrees and take 180 photos equally spaced, there will be a frame every 2 degrees. The fact that it is so simple is a main part of why I find it appealing. It doesn't take a lot of work to create one assuming you have a robotic panorama head. You simply capture the frames, convert to equirectangular, and upload them to the viewer. It's more about the effect that it creates. Since you're not stitching, you have N frames of unique perspective which allow you to capture parallax that emulates human head rotation (around 80-100mm in front of NPP). Here is a GIF of the rotational capture method - https://files.panomoments.com/media/RotatingSquare.gif
Check out the Kickstarter. It has a lot more info on how things work, and everything that is needed to capture one.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Dustin
