To display 360 degree cubic panorama movie, either QuickTime(QTVR) or Adobe Flash player is used as viewer. I like QTVR very much and I participate "World Wide Panorama" ten times,
http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/worldwidepanorama/wwppeople/html/RikuichiKishimoto.html360度キュービックVRの表示には通常QuickTime(QTVR)またはAdobe Flash Playerが使われます。私はQTVRの製作が趣味でして、World Wide Panoramaにも参加しています。
It would be very easy to implement 360 degree cubic panorama viewer using OpenGL. The source image has 6 cubic faces in one JPEG file.
OpenGLでキュービックパノラマを実現することは、割と簡単だと思われますので、やってみました。普通は次のような6面の画像を繋げたJPEGの画像を使いますが、簡単化のため6枚の別々の写真に分けました。

I manually cut the image into 6 pieces to simplify the OpenGL program.






Convert six JPEG files into six texture and attach to six cubic faces. It's very straight foward. The following code still have some bugs, but I can show you the basic idea. It's really a "inside rotating cube". まだバグなどがありますが、アイデアとしては次のようなものになります。
