It’s not actually that hard and can be done on any modern computer w/ a lot of RAM easily (albeit takes longer than the near instant application on a camera phone photo). The images also aren’t that large, just high res for a single focal plane image. I have personally taken WAY higher resolution photos than 3.2 gigapixel before using post-process stitching of hundreds (or thousands in one case) of photos. My highest resolution one I’ve taken was from the roof of a building in San Francisco. It was just over 2,000 twenty five megapixel images using a 400mm lens and produced a combined image over 10x higher resolution (Around 42 billion pixels) than this does. Fun fact, 3.2Gp can still be stored as a single jpeg. The JPEG file format tops out at 4Gp (64k x 64k). PNG can’t go that high generally because it tops out at a 2GB file size (limited by bytes rather than pixels). For the previously mentioned 40Gp image, the file format I had to use was PSB. It’s been almost a decade since I took that pano, but if memory serves the file was around 150GB.
