Hi,
I’m quite new to Theta V and I’m trying to implement that with Raspberry Pi. I noticed in Mac/Windows/Mobile, we have the official app for viewing every details in the 360 degree image. But How can I read that in Pi? (I already can take image directly from Theta V through Pi).
Run a small web server on your Raspberry Pi and then use browser-based application.
I’ll look at the four most popular open source 360 image viewers and give recommendations as to which is the best tool for your purposes.
A-Frame
Google VR View for the Web
React VR
Photo Sphere Viewer
A-Frame
A-Frame is the leading open source project for WebVR. What this means is that your project will work not only with web sites, but also on Vive, Rift, Daydream, GearVR, and mobile phones.
Pros
Backed by Mozilla
Active community
Works with VR headsets and VR controllers
Cons
in bet…
If you want a standalone desktop application, Electron might work, though I have not used Electron on the Raspberry Pi.

It’s easy to develop desktop applications that control the RICOH THETA API. This tutorial shows you how to use JavaScript, Node, and Electron to build applications that run on Mac, Windows, and Linux laptop and desktop computers. Desktop applications are useful for commercial applications like building surveillance monitoring or automobile sales.
I’ll show you how to get started with Electron, but it’ll be up to you to finish the application and build your million dollar VR/AR busines…
