There is nothing particularily new about the Globorama technology,
except perhaps the laser pointer navigation. Matthias Taugwalder had
a similar presentation of his summit panoramas in a swiss museum last
year. It was the highlight in an exhibition about the history of
panorama photography in switzerland (german):

The panotools meeting participants last year in lucerne had the
opportunity to visit this exhibition. Here images by Ian Wood of the
projection:

The big thing there where the VR goggles attached to binoculars that
showed a high resolution version of the exact place you looked at.
Here a circular version of the projection where you can see some
visitors use the goggles:
