I'm working on an iOS application using AIR for iOS and am requested now to add support for 360° panorama images.

There are a few Flash panorama players available, but they create SWF files which I won't be able to compile into my iOS application (I assume?).

What options do I have to get interactive 360° panoramas into my AIR for iOS application?

The viewer should support spherical panoramas with proper distortion

Using the Flare3D api with Stage3D has a "SkyBox" effect you could use.

I made a flat panorama (images stitched side to side) to avoid distortion and that can be done with blitting. Pretty common game technique.

A variety of other ways can be utilized but none of them are really going to be excessively simple to someone already looking for a premade component.

thank you!

I should however, if anyhow possible, stay compatible to AIR 3.0

Why is that? AIR3.2 has already been out. There's no reason outside "less stable mobile applications" to stick with AIR3.0.

If you stick with AIR3.0, for whatever reason, a lot of these frameworks have graceful software render fallback that will do the same thing but not use Stage3D in AIR3.2.

They're free to try, give it a shot. When you upgrade past 3.2 you'll see a huge spike in performance.
