This is ironic since the whole point of a point-and-shoot camera is to
just point and shoot.

Closer to the topic at hand.  A script could probably be written to
make files compatible with this new format.  Sounds like it would have
to render 16 lower resolution images from different angles then munge
them together in some way.  There may be some lens distortion or
something I'm not even considering but it doesn't seem too difficult.
The only thing is I don't see it as anything except a novelty.
