Intentional camera movement is not a common technique among panoramic photographers. Kind of the opposite thing you're looking for when stitching parts of a scene. With the advent of one-shot panoramic cameras, however, possibilities open up. As the entire scene is captured at the same instant, an old technique becomes renewed. It may even alter your perception. 

A sports photographer draws attention to a running athlete by panning with the subject, blurring the background and providing a sense of movement. Here I've spun the camera on the axis of the selfie stick to produce motion blur, highlighting myself and a waterfall. The horizontal axis of the lenses produces the most motion blur, and minimal blur toward the top and bottom, resulting in highlighted subjects at opposite ends.

See some more examples from my day of experimenting. I lined up various shots with their equirectangular projections to better understand what's happening when camera movement is added.

On the X5, because of a minimum 100 ISO and fixed aperture, it's helpful to be in a fairly dark area. Direct sunlight will yield too fast a shutter speed and no chance to capture blur. A manual setting of 100 ISO at 1/15 of a second produced the above shot. Interestingly, ND filters now exist for some one-shot cameras. 

But don't stop at spinning. Every other kind of motion will give different effects. And there's no end to combinations of movements. The only limit is how risky you are willing to be with your camera. 

Experimenting is needed to test and time the shot. Too much arc will give a bunch of cool lines, but erase clues about subjects.
