A 360 photo and video viewer. Using an inverted UV sphere for an interesting, fun and Immersive viewing experience. I'm new to cabinet modding so testers and feedback are welcome.

This cabinet has the name "Immersion Sphere" under the type "Frames" I think. A New version is at the link in the description.

Ooh, you just gave me a neat idea Vic, I wonder if i can leverage map skyboxes for use as a perspective centered 360 viewer. Thanks

The screen was inspired by what people are doing over at JanusVR. I've taken the player hight into account when sizing the model, placing the center at the same hight as the player camera. Although I made the assumtion the camera is roughly where the player model eyes are.

As getting any quality out of it is dificult. It is more for athsetics than it is for use as a proper viewer. A better 360 viewer is immediatly available simply by launching the shortcut.

For cube maps, I would need to be able to swap uvs on the fly as well. If that is even possible. If it is then this would also be the solution for video vs photo uv maps. Worth a google or two and a talk with AAcade's developer.

Compiling a new screen just for cube maps would be trivial. Sith will be implementing a cube screenshot and sharing feature so that will probably happen anyway.

When you are in a 360 dome the best place for your head is right in the middle. I guess something to accomodate that is what I was thinking. Other uses ... can you texture swap?

Another idea ... what happens if you use a skybox texture on the sphere. Can you swap skybox textures on the fly?

4k looks just ok when available. I think there is a texture downsizing going on not sure by how much. There is also the issue of aspect ratio. the flash player seems to go 16:9 when 360 rectangular are typically 2:1 So we get black holes. I could crop them in the UV but it would distort 360 photos.

What do you have in mind which would involve scripting, Vic?
