That's rather clever!! It has a 360 camera that moves with your phone.

The footage has been recorded with an EXTREMELY wide angle lens and the YouTube app crops out and straightens a section depending on the angle of your phone so it looks like you're moving the camera.

Aren't these 360 videos done with several cameras and stitched together?

I believe it's stitched from 4 or more cameras.

Worth noting you need the YouTube app to try this on an iPhone.

Or you use parabolic mirror lens, like those accesories for mobiles or Go-Pros.
Although it doesn't appear to be working on my Android phone

No need anymore, there are 40mp and bigger sensors now so it can be done with a single sensor/lens.

..In fact I think the whole idea (for video anyway) was introduced by CCTV system developers who realised that you could use a extremely wide angle lens pointing down at the ground and then use software to crop and straighten out the image so you end up with a fixed camera recording a large area which even after the event you can 'move the camera'.

Never seen that before. Quite clever, actually.
Thought the common approach was something like this:
http://store.kolor.com/360-degree-video/hardware/rigs
That's similar to how Google captures Street View.

Looking again, the video in question has full spherical view, so there's definitely some stitching going on.

[randomfact] Back in the day a similar technique was used on TV shows, mostly for bluescreen scenes due to the fact motion tracking required stupidly big computer controlled camera rigs and wasn't doable in software like today. So they would use fixed cameras with wide angle lenses and once the CGI elements were composed onto the (background/live-action) plates, they'd pan the shot in editing [/randomfact]

there is a whole section of 360 videos on the youtube apps.
This also works on chrome.
