Play 360 image on hololens
Is there a App on hololens to play 360 degree images? Facebook now has 360 images. I am wondering if I can play it on hololens.

@Fireman For the benefit you of others that see your post here, another thread discussed this question question playing-360-video-in-hololens-unity-3d-app.
I have been looking at this again and while 360 images have been on various mediums they still need a player. My opinion, "controversially", now having seen that the HoloLens Field Of View (HFOV) is relatively narrow it is difficult to see how this works.
When the Transform values for the GameObject in the Unity Asset Store any 360 viewer App, are set to match the HFOV then how does the 360 degree immersion work. Is this just the brain being tricked into thinking its in a wide area as the display is so close?.
I have displayed the 360 player on sphere, plane, box and cylinder even converted to texture to display across matrix of the Kinetic depth camera scene, but cannot see how to convert to semi-transparent picture to create a Holographic item.
Therefore your question could be "Is there a Holographic 360 degree player, which could look around the back of the picture and hang in the air?", my answer in no, but someone might be making an app soon
