It uses Quicktime VR. You can buy a special camera tripod that allows you to leave the camera in a certain and rotate it around 360 degrees. You then take a photo every 20 degrees or so and use the quicktime VR software to stitch it all together. You can take the photos freehand if you want but the result is never as good. You can even put hotspots in the quicktime movie and have it go to another room or URL. There are companies around that can do this for you, I would start with real estate agents as it was popular in that industry.
