This is an experiment: I want to be able to display a navigable full-sphere image.
For the meaning of full sphere, imagine that you are at the centre of a sphere, but can look in any direction whatsoever. You can scan 360° around the horizon (and so come back to where you started); you can also lift your eyes to the zenith or look down at the nadir. In short, you can examine everything within the sphere centred upon your eyes.
By navigable, I mean that, by clicking and dragging, you control where you look. By clicking on the icon on the lower right, the navigable image becomes full screen.
The picture for this experiment was taken alongside the Thicket Trail in Kokanee Creek Park.

Yikes, the experiment worked during the preview, yet failed in Safari, but worked in Chrome and Firefox. Sorry for the inconsistency.
That’s cool but I did have trouble getting behind the tree.
Claire, if you need to go behind a tree, I am not sure I want to know about it.
(A note to those of you who are censorious: Claire is my sister.)
Wonderful, but I did get a bit dizzy looking up, down and to each side.
Worked great on my IPad, could look straight up the trees,
Worked great for me !!!
I was wondering if there was something interesting in the tree.
Derek, at both the zenith and nadir there appears a flaw which I think is the result of a coding error.
Great. Looking forward to more.
Very cool!!
Great Alistair — now I’m completely dizzy
Thanks

Works wonderfully on my Kindle Fire. Like being out on the trail.
