"reverse" panorama?
Huck
around and looking at an object, so you can rotate the object? Kind
of the opposite of a normal panorama where the camera is still and
looks outward all around.

That's called an 'object movie'. Instead of stitching images together
you take lots of images of the object, rotating it (or moving around
it) with each shot. The images are stored in a kind of array, and
you're shown different ones when you drag left or right so that it
seems like you're turning the object.
This is totally different from stitched panoramas, so PTGui isn't
able to create these. The Object2VR software on
http://www.gardengnomesoftware.com/ can do this, and you'll find more
info there too. I haven't tried Object2VR for a very long time now,
although I really should give it another go.

You mean an object movie.

PTGui currently can help align images for such a movie, but it can'T
handle the whole project. However, PanoTools, on which PTGui originally
was based had some functionality to create and display object movies:

and Quicktime VR can also display them.
Creating object movies was also part of Pano2QTVR pro and has now moved
into a separate product called object2VR:

You can do it in Photoshop using the animate toolbar after loading the images into a stack. Small objects are best done on a cake icer.

Photosynth does something like that but it is not very smooth and just
feels like a series of still shots, not like actually rotating the
object.
For Photosynth you take a series of shots around the object,
photosynth links them and then you can click and drag to move yourself
through the sequence of shots.
