360 support

[nafergo]

Any plans to support 360 equirectangular? That would be really useful :)

That would be very welcome! I guess it would also require some work in the native apps

As an owner of a 360-degree camera, I also see this as one of the most useful possible additions to the platform. As a little incentive, I'm offering a $30 reward to whoever implements this feature.

As a user, feel free to add something to the pot—and as a passionate developer, feel free to pitch in. 😊

I think we should specify a bit more what is needed:

Support for 360° media (photos and videos) …

1. in the browser on desktop,
2. in the browser on mobile,
3. in the browser on VR headsets (!!),
4. in the iOS app and
5. in the Android app

For starters, supporting 2d equirectangular media would be great.

I‘m interested in 1., 2. and 3. in particular, if someone implements it I'll add another $20 to the pot

On the server side we need some mechanism to recognize 360° footage, for example XMP Metadata like ProjectionType=equirectangular (good) or a 2:1 aspect ratio (not a very reliable indicator).

For videos, I guess this works to mark a mp4 file as 360° footage:

exiftool -XMP-GSpherical:Spherical="true" file.mp4

If you're looking for a suitable framework to embed, i think Pannellum https://github.com/mpetroff/pannellum is a promising one.
