360 degree video in MPMoviePlayerController

Question

I am trying to develop an iphone application that should display video 360 degrees, for example, and rotate the video according to the movement of the phone. How can I do this? Can this be done using a conventional MPMovieplayer controller?

Answer 1

I do not think that you can do this with the usual MPMoviePlayerController , but there are several libraries for this. Look at here:

• Panoramagl
• 360 panorama

They work with OpenGL, and you can embed them in your Objective-C code.

EDIT: As @Mangesh Vyas kindly noted, they are intended for use only with fixed images. However, they can be a good starting point for embedding videos if you change the code accordingly. They already process the direction, accelerometer, etc., so you do not need to do it all yourself.
