Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like Panoramic images look amazing in VR. It would be incredible to be able to experience panoraic images on Nextcloud Hub in an immersive web VR experience using the web browser on a headset like the Meta Quest.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using a computer monitor... great, but not 3D ;)

Additional context MVP doesn't have to be too sophisticated to still be amazing - maybe a [VR] button on your panoramic images.

I'm a huge fan of VR and think, it could be cool to have a VR and/or 360 view for 360 images.

Though, IMO it should not be a default (built-in) feature of the base viewer. VR is still not widely used. I'd say, it could be a separate app that adds 360-degree images support to the viewer.

A problem could be detecting if an image is 360-degree when they have a general image extension.

But if maintainers consider this could be a built-in feature, I'm ready to work on it in my free time :)
