Hi,
It would be a great addiction for Studio to have motion-enabled videospheres and 360-images sphere/skyboxes like the old A-Frame / Three.js based projects like
and
(which are now available only to paid subscriptions).
The door-portal is a Studio project quite similar to what I mean, but it uses a Splat instead of a 360 image - which is nice, but you might not have a splat to use and sometimes you just want to use a 360 still image linked to accelerometer motion.
Hi, welcome to the forums!
I was able to replicate this by creating a Sphere and setting the material to have the texture I want to display and setting the face mode to back.
THANKS! Going to experiment with this 
Hi George, I started a thread on Discord on this stuff, I think it can be of general interest
Just for the records: I replicated it. World Effects template, add a sphere, make it big, revert normals by setting the material to “Back”, disable SLAM in Camera so you are always at the center of the sphere, assign a 360 image to the sphere material.
For visibility: Here’s how I would add a VideoTexture to the sphere as a Custom Component. Until we get video support. 
import * as ecs from '@8thwall/ecs'
ecs.registerComponent({
name: 'Video Sphere',
schema: {
},
schemaDefaults: {
},
data: {
},
// add: (world, component) => {
// },
// tick: (world, component) => {
// },
// remove: (world, component) => {
// },
stateMachine: ({world, eid, schemaAttribute, dataAttribute}) => {
const {THREE} = window as any
const video = document.createElement('video')
video.setAttribute('playsinline', '')
video.setAttribute('crossOrigin', 'anonymous')
video.setAttribute('src', 'YOUR-URL-HERE')
const texture = new THREE.VideoTexture(video)
texture.colorSpace = THREE.SRGBColorSpace
ecs.defineState('default')
.initial()
.onEnter(() => {
video.play()
})
.onTick(() => {
const object3D = world.three.entityToObject.get(eid)
object3D.traverse((child) => {
if (child.material) {
child.material.map = texture
child.material.emissiveMap = texture
child.material.needsUpdate = true
}
})
})
.onExit(() => {
video.pause()
})
},
})
