[x3d-public] status of spherical movie textures taken from 360 cameras

[John Carlson]

This problem has come up 2-3 times, so I decided to provide an example 
for everyone to work off of:

Point 1:  Texture mapping looks really good on the sphere, but there's 
no animation.

Point 2:  Canvas mapping to a sphere does not work, AFAICT

Point 3:  Canvas drawing from video seems to work when you pause the video

Point 4:  Video plays fine in video tag.

I will point the open issues to this example:
