Yeah, depending on the focal length, I guess
rotating camera images look much alike. Is there an digital
equivalent to the Larscan idea? One that a person can make at
home, that isn't too cumbersome and doesn't require a car battery
to run it? I assume anything made by Seitz is very expensive.

On the electronic front there are several models being
manufactured/marketed. Spheron (sp>) is one ... the Better
Light scanning back device can be accessorized with a turntable
and become a real high end digital pano camera ... and there are
several others ... Seitz also makes one ... it is hard to believe
they are all making money in this market ...

Hmm, results look like a digital version
of the film Panoptic camera, or Larscan, as built by MIchael
Dusariez. I still have one built from an old Zeiss camera
taking 120 roll film. I liked those images. I may have to look
into the digital versions.

not sure I mentioned this before but some time ago I was asked
about the prop blades effect and at the time I made s
simulation of what was going on using a flat bed scanner as
the equivalent of the rolling shutter ... which is a offshoot
of focal plane shutters ... you can read all about it here:

PTassembler and related sites ... impressive!!
My recent forays into panoramic photography are based on using
a camera intended for machine vision applications ... a
monochrome linear array camera ... and placing it atop a
motorized rotating tripod head. No article yet but photograph
