That'd 16 goPro cameras all sync'd up to one 'master' camera that operates power, start-stop and frame-synching. Clever stuff... the *really* clever stuff comes when Google get hold of the footage and make it stereo.

See, you can't film one pano and shift the camera by a few centimetres and then film another pano to get stereo because that's not how it works.

Google's software sorts this out, and after reading this colourful explanation for the reason you can't get stereo from two 'side by side' panoramas makes perfect sense:
