The copyright symbol in the center floor hides the camera and mirrored
parabolic tripod mounted device that allows this image to be made in
two exposures, stitched at camera level.
However, that's not the way it was done, if a bit of research is
correct. According to the Spinatour website "thousands of photos were
taken" over a period of three freezing nights and stitched together
after color and light balancing.
See the article at: http://spinatour.com/?p=35
Apparently, to enable zooming, they had to match hi-res images in
several stages to the overall stitched image. Also apparently the
camera(s) were located beneath the covering copyright symbol. Those
taking the picture were Vatican interns from Villanova.
Here is an outdoor image taken with the system, and it includes the
camera and tripod: http://www.spinatour.com/clemsonamrl/tour.html
An interior shot, with one scan being done in each room of Clemson's
Telecom Center.

Is there a program that will stitch something like this together given

Oh my gods, that is Vatican Church View. Call the data protection
agencies there must be something wrong here. Clearly you can't just
publish those picture publicly on the internets ....
I think the URL kinda gives it away ;-)
