More than how much it costs, just knowing what's involved in a scene that can be from any angle I choose.

Multiple high definition cameras with overlapping fields of view and the software to stitch the images together in, what appears to be, a two dimensional array (notice the distortion when you move away from the horizontal). Then the player with the controls to select the area of that array to display.
