I suppose what is meant here is orientation as a compass would provide
it. If you had a precise compass, you could use it's readings with
successive shots as yaw values, and you'd even gain a reference which
you could use to augment your panorama with artifical vistas or
metadata. Sadly, though, the cheap earth magnetic field sensors I know
of available are

- not very precise
- not foolproof (tilt!)
- sensitive to other magnetic fields

If, on the other hand, you use, like, a gyroscope, you can set it up
in relation to a reference coordinate system. You then receive yaw,
pitch and roll values for every orientation relative to the reference
coordinate system. But such sensors are expensive.
