Paul Bourke has some notes on (static, not video) stereoscopic 360° panoramas, in his treasure-trove of stereoscopic resources:

The greatest limiting factor to this becoming mainstream is the availability of cameras. Also, bandwidth and video capability is an issue: I can't download OR view 4k video on my still very capable 3 year-old macbook for example.
Now, Johnyzee I think mistakenly called it "360-degree 3d" actually, 360-degree images are 2-d, they are simply projected onto a spherical surface. They dont' however have any 3d information. Stereoscopic (i.e. "anaglyph, what people call 3-d, like what Avatar was) 360 video is another matter, and i don't think anyone has ever built that.
