--- Comment #4 from Juan J. Baca <j...@bacamt.com> ---
Panoramas (aka sphere, globe or 360 images, as you would like to call them) are
getting more and more popular since 360 cameras got cheaper and smarter, among
you can take it with your cellphone since years ago (since Android 4.2 camera).
People are using them in sports, nature, events, etc... In the end, all of them
are panoramas from a few degrees (partial panorama) to 360x180 degrees know as
complete panorama.

Nowadays there lot of open source implementations to take them as reference. As
far as I now there are a few projection types but the more common is
equirectangular. Metadata about panoramas are stored inside jpeg headers as an
open standard (ISO 16684-1) aka Adobe XMP. Reference can be readed here:
https://developers.google.com/streetview/spherical-metadata

Some opensource projects are:
- https://pchen66.github.io/Panolens/ | https://github.com/pchen66/panolens.js
- https://photo-sphere-viewer.js.org/ |
https://github.com/mistic100/Photo-Sphere-Viewer

Hope this add some light and encourage someone to begin working to implement it
in gwenview.
