again camera is normal high res ,the robot in this case
just moves is incrementally takes another picture and
software stitch them ,more pictures taken and stitched
the higher resolution of composite seen,take 100 stitch them
and have 5000 megapixel picture , to call it all seeing eye is quite funny
in my opinion .

A unique robotic camera mount, the GigaPan Epic works with
most point and shoot cameras to create multi-gigapixel panoramas.
The GigaPan Epic makes it easy to capture incredibly detailed images and works seamlessly with the GigaPan Stitcher and GigaPan.org. The Epic allows your camera to take tens, hundreds, or even thousands of photos. These images are combined into a single gigapixel panorama by the GigaPan Stitcher. You can then view, share, and explore the incredible detail of your panoramas at GigaPan.org.
