Equirectangular Support
Peter Woitschikowski
Playing 3D 360 videos and 3D 360 photos on Lookingglass displays and using them as equirectangular,l I would like to see some support in this regard. Especially in this area it is very important to show prospective customers in advance an experience with a 3D 360 video or 3D 360 photo directly on site using their great technology.
with best regards

This would be interesting, however, there is an issue with the conventional omni-directional stereo video format as it only have 2 points of view (designed for each eye/direction), while the 3d display needs around 50 views.
One way to do it would be to just split it at the center, then you would need to be right in front of the display for it to work, and it would be hard to watch it 2 persons at the same time.
The other option would be to try to infer depth using the 3D video with the help of AI, which is probably pretty hard to do... More realistically implementation wise, the 3D would probably be ignored, and a depth map would be generated using MiDaS or similar.
