[x3d-public] 360 Video

[doug sanden]

In one native browser you can put side='left' ie
<Transform side='left'>
.. shows in the left side only..
</Transform>
<Transform side='right'>
..shows in the right side only..
</Transform>
Q. how does the video look? 
If its side-by-side in the same frame, then you'd have different texture coords for left and right side.

> VR Video aka 360 Video is video that occupies all 4pi steradians of
