Nintendo have announced Wii U Panorama View for the Wii U. its easy to understand why this wasn't shown at their press conference as it's not that clear what it is. from what i understand from the press release, Wii U Panorama View gives you a video of something and you can use the GamePad to break away from the fixed view. the example they have in the pic is a video of flying birds, the GamePad is used to focus in at a different angle on one particular bird.
The GamePad can also be used vertically to help take in objects like towers better. the GamePad also remembers your viewing choice, and the game remembers what you looked at the most during the experience by showing you 3 pics at the end.
