Recreating the Javascript-powered 360° VR view from the iPad gallery.
On the iPad gallery at http://movies.apple.com/ipad/gallery/ there is a nifty 3D-ish view when you click on the "360°"-Button on the lower right. It seems to be built with Prototype, some custom JS and 180 single JPEGs.  
Now, I don't want to steal Apple's code, but I *really* would like to have a similar effect.  I'm afraid recreating the effect all by myself would be too much for me, so 
hHas anybody ever done something like this and released it as open source (or a paid library or something like this)?  Integration with jQuery would be an added bonus.
