360 - VR mode for photos

Since XNView supports almost all common and esoteric image formats, I would think it would be really nice if it could display the most common equirectangular projection 360 (spherical) photos. These things are not new, and no longer require custom rigs - the cameras that that shoot and stitch them are widely available cheaply. They do make wonderful travel photos. Even the default Windows 10 photo viewer displays them, and I would think it would be nice if the wonderful XNView could do too.

Here are some examples how they look: https://kuula.co/explore

In XNView it could be a shortcut / menu item to toggle between modes.

Anyway. Thank you for this very useful and well made software.

Hi everybody,

I totally second this request! It would be an amazing feature to have in XnView!

Are there any chances?

Already requested.

Yes, it is possible, but, even if there are free libraries for this it is needed to be written an entire UI on top of them (panning / zooming etc.).
