As a user with 360-degree videos, I would like the full-screen viewer to properly play them with an adjustable angle.

It would be great to finally add support for this, e.g. by extending the existing viewer to dynamically load a library such as Photo Sphere Viewer:

https://photo-sphere-viewer.js.org/

The implementation could follow the same approach as the video support in lightbox.vue:

github.com/photoprism/photoprism@55575623c5/frontend/src/component/lightbox.vue (L539-L540)

Changes to the backend may also be required to provide the necessary metadata. We are happy to help with that.
