They're just basically putting together stills taken from different perspectives of the same scene to create a computer-generated 3D scene that they can then use to analyze the play with. At Euro, UEFA provides all the video feeds, so every broadcaster gets the same video feeds from all the different perspectives on the field. ESPN are just making better use of the feeds thats all. In fact, its not an ESPN innovation at all. It's actually from a Swiss-based company called Liberovision. They’re not using a 360-degree camera and its not a “neat camera technology”.

It is a cool effect, but definitely not new. In Superbowl XXXV (2001) CBS employed an array of cameras around the endzones to provide a similar effect. It is a cool effect, but definitely not new.
