It would be interesting to list the available production and display
tools
available today for someone working/displaying on a Linux platform:
Available:
1.- Panorama production tools
2.- Object movie production tools
3.- Display alternatives for Panoramas and Object movies
Would be nice to list FOSS and Proprietary alternatives(Flash) that
run under Linux
I can detect the wonderful set of Panorama Tools for production
and display, being Panorama Tools and Hugin
Other sugestions?
Well, there are a few forks of ptviewer around. This one is probably
the best one: http://www.fsoft.it/panorama/ptviewer.htm
You already mentioned panotools and Hugin. Search for "panorama"
sourceforge.net to get a list of a few more projects, although most of
them seem pretty dead.
Here's a nice list:

Over the last 1-2 years I've been on and off working on a QTVR
implementation in libquicktime. But it's still not terribly advanced.
There are two demo tools bundled with it.
lqtplay: Can play most simple object movies and cylindrical
panoramas. Although panorama support is bit wonky. I don't quite
understand the transformation required to display those correctly.
lqt_transcode: Can be used to make QTVR files from ordinary
quicktime movies and Avi's. It is again not too useful for
panoramas, though.
I'm more interested in object movies anyway, because my original
intention was to make object movies from Blender. Which works rather
well already using this script:

Here's an example: http://www-e.uni-magdeburg.de/stscheff/bug.mov
Ah well this degenerated more into pimping my own project.
