360 Panoramic Image

What is the best method to use a 360 degree panoramic image and view it in the Oculus? Is there a way using Unity 3D?

    What do you mean, can you provide a little more information of what you are trying to accomplish? You can certainly use unity to view a 360 degree panoramic photograph, you'll simply need to first have your equirectangular panoramic image, then in unity create a new material using your pano as the texture. Apply texture to a sphere, add OVRcamera controller, bobs your uncle.

    A simpler way would be to use one of several 360vr players already designed for unity. I personally like liveViewRift, because it can play images, slideshows and videos.
