Found more info in my emails:
I'm interested in learning more about panoramic photographs like the one at <http://www.kaidan.com/cubsign.html>.
What photographic equipment is required? What software? Is this a Professional's only process? (Don't try this at home.) How big a deal is making panoramas like this?
I've found the Panoramic Tools site at <http://www.all-in-one.ee/~dersch/>, but I can't find much about the basics. Any thoughts? ------------- Take a Look at:

This is pretty spectacular - go for the 1.5 meg Quicktime version if you can...

How did he do that?
:-)
On normal VR images, the tripod below is also already eleminated from the picture (with most often the logo of the artist in the center on the floor), so eliminating a camera-boom/-arm should be just as easy....it just takes more skills if the boom blocks important/complex details/objects (and having a recognizeable/sizeable person/object close-by is essential for the impact of course)
Only thing missing is a continuous vertical swing....but that has been done in the past too:

Btw, on last years PhotoKina, IPIX showed motion picture VR....sample of a double-decker plane taking off....and at every moment of the flight, you could change your point/angle of view....lovely....:)) (and I am by far no fan of IPIX, if only because of their nasty business practises & legal harassment, being worse than MicroSoft; but they claim they don't do that anymore (even admitting that they *did* is a significant step)) (couldn't pass the chance to grill them on that subject on the Kina of course....:))
Anyway, would love to repeat such a camera-boom trick in a ski-lift or on a ski-cliff someday....or think about doing a single VR-shot while in mid-air, ski-jumping, camera between the ski-boots....:)) (once took a very nice circular-fisheye shot that way, static/normal shot, standing still, ski's pointing towards a breath-taking scenery in the distance/valley, and with bright-neon snow-gaiters against a deep blue sky....lovely....:))
