This is really cool, but still lacks IOS-support, right?

I was developing the app for differentperspectiv.es, and quickly realized that the easiest way for me to get 360-degree video support on multi platforms was to build an Unity app and project movies on sphere-shaped textures.

This project seems cool, but would love to see the HTML5 player being open-sourced.

Thanks!

We are working on the iOS support, this will be added soon. It's pretty simple, we just have to use HLS instead of DASH, as Safari on iOS does not support the HTML5 MSE.

iOS is garbage for anything VR right now. iOS' version of Webkit is the Internet Explorer 5 of our times.

Fun fact, IE 2 included support for VRML, the virtual reality modeling language, back in 1996.
