Hi, i think it was this (from Best of 2005):

The easiest way to do this is to create a sphere in a 3D
software, map the panorama to the sphere and use a camera at
the center of the sphere.
In order to get the shadows etc. right, you'd have to at
least partially rebuild the original geometry, but still
using the same texture projection as with the sphere. But
that's something depending on your 3D software.
Not exactly how to work with interiors, but just to give a
general idea how to make 2D backgrounds work within 3D space:
