ELI5: 360 degree video.
gpt
The material is recorded as data that when played back through a software player allows the user control of the viewing direction and playback speed.  You use multiple cameras to take video shots at the same time. Take each video at the same frames per second. Then take apart each video frame by frame and arrange and distort each video frame into a flat spherical view to create one larger video frame. Then put it all together in one new video.
