A similar effect is achieved with a platform and a camera on an arm rapidly rotating around the platform. I've seen it at tech conferences.

I think this is it:

this is interesting but it doesn't have the time freeze or slo mo effect done with a rapid series of photos.

Not a total freeze, but it had slow motion. I thought it was a clever approximation. You can see it here:

You can get an Insta360 camera with the bullet-time-handle and an invisible selfie stick to get a similar effect.
