I tried combining one of your panoramic spheres with a PhotoOverlay. It's nowhere near as good as viewing with a SpaceNavigator, but it may yet prove useful.

I gave a spherical pano the GE PhotoOverlay treatment and experienced the same 'flipping' effect, which is rather disappointing.
Incidentally, many thanks for GMapImageCutter, which I used to create the ImagePyramid tiles for the PhotoOverlay, renamed with a batch file (just in case anyone else finds it useful).

Well, it might look dissapointing now, but with the HDView technology, and the Gigapxl layer in Google Earth I guess it will not be long before the GigaPano is offering HDView in a Gigapxl layer or similar.

Smithee,

Very enlightening post. I haven't had a chance to check out any of this stuff myself, but this provides a good frame of reference. I think the jury is still out...

Thanks for sharing it on BlinkGeo as well.
