I have a question. I haven't read much about this type of youtube video until now. How do you upload one to youtube, and is it just a cylindrical projection of a sphere as texeltexel suggested? how do you produce it, in practical terms?

Our dev wrote a script that exported cube maps out of unity 30 frames a second. I then stitched those together in using the spherical projection node in nuke. We have the resolution up to 12k (6x 2k maps). Ideally in the future we'll have ~8k 360 so that you have a HD image wherever you look but 4k is the max for youtube and is really pushing what an average machine can decode without stutter. Thanks!
