VR Video aka 360 Video is video that occupies all 4pi steradians of
view about the user. These videos come in stereo (3D) or mono. The
stereo movies need to be played through a device that generates a
left and right image and is typically viewed through Cardboard,
GearVR, or equivalent. This video is available on YouTube and
several other sources. <br>
<br>
X3D provides a MovieTexture node that will display a video as a
texture. To make X3D more interesting (and usable) for VR
applications, support for this format is needed. The video is
frequently played on the inside of a sphere and the device's motion
sensors are used to provide orientation to the display. <br>
<br>
Should X3D V4 have this capability?<br>
Should a video-sphere be automatically provided?<br>
Should a developer be able to choose a different screen-surface
geometry?<br>
