An open source library to support 360 videos and pictures. It's designed as a generic 3D library that you can use for much more!

• 360 video player
• 360 image display
• generic 3D scene
• photo / video filters within a 3D scene

See the wiki! or:

pod 'DDDKit'

import DDDKit
import AVFoundation

class ViewController: DDD360VideoViewController {

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    show(from: myVideoURL)
  }
}

// B&W filter:
@IBAction func didPressBW(_ sender: Any) {
  let program = try! DDDShaderProgram(fragment: defaultShader, shaderModifiers: [
    .fragment: "gl_FragColor = vec4(vec3(gl_FragColor.x + gl_FragColor.y + gl_FragColor.z) / 3.0, 1.0);",
  ])
  videoNode.material.shaderProgram = program
}

node.geometry = DDDGeometry.Cube()
let videoTexture = DDDVideoTexture(player: player) // AVPlayer with 360 cubic video
node.material.set(
  property: videoTexture,
  for: "SamplerY",
  and: "SamplerUV"
)

See the wiki!

• easy to use syntax and logic
• support of image and video textures
• direct and easy access to shader's code, shaders modifiers -> easy to make image filters
• focus on reliability on video support.
• equirectangular and cubic 360 support
• elements that can have any shape / position

• SceneKit has bugs, such as memory leaks, failing video support (see SO)
• no support of AVPlayerLayer / AVPlayer as video input
• indirect video support (through SpriteKit)
• openGL backed rendering failing on iOS 10
• poor documentation
• unresponsiveness from Apple on issues, and no timeline/transparency on fixes
• no access to code to fix things yourself, since it's not open source.
