Actually, it's quite a neat trick. As you sweep the camera around, the sensor does capture scene information from different viewpoints, unless you were to rotate the camera around the NPP. Imagine holding the camera out in front of you and sweeping left to right in a wide arc. Consider an object in the middle of the scene, at the beginning of the sweep the right edge of the frame would first pick up the object as you swept around. Further on during the motion, the object would track to the left of the frame. Since the camera was in two different places when the object was on the RHS and LHS of the frame, you could use that to synthesise a 3D image from that.
One way would be to construct the left-eye image using a scan-line taken from the RHS of the frame, and vice versa for the right-eye image. The stereo effect would be controlled by the wideness of the arc the camera was swung around.
