Enhanced Panorama Viewing with Passthrough and Wall-Locking

Current Situation
Currently, panoramas on Meta Quest are displayed against a plain background, which doesn't take advantage of the device's mixed reality capabilities.

Proposed Improvement
I suggest implementing a new viewing mode for panoramas that combines passthrough technology with the wall-locking feature seen in YouTube VR's mixed reality environment option.

Key Features

1.  Passthrough Integration* Allow users to view panoramas with the real-world environment visible in the background using the Quest's passthrough technology.
2.  Wall-Locking Option Implement a feature similar to YouTube VR's mixed reality mode, where users can "lock" the panorama display to walls or surfaces in their physical space.
3. Flexible Viewing Give users the option to switch between the current plain background mode and this new mixed reality mode.
4. Adjustable Opacity: Allow users to adjust the opacity of the passthrough background to find their ideal balance between the panorama and their real environment.

Benefits

• Enhanced immersion by blending virtual panoramas with the real world
• More natural and comfortable viewing experience, especially for longer sessions
• Increased spatial awareness while enjoying panoramic content
• Versatility in how users can experience their panoramic photos and videos
