It took a few steps. I’ll put together a series of steps later today and put them here and in the description of the video.
Basically it’s using a 1.6.2 plugin called “Panorama” I think that makes an image, ffmpeg to turn the image into a 1 minute video, use the Youtube 360 metadata injector (Youtube provides that), then uploading it to youtube.
The 3D thing is handled by Youtube after that, wrapping the movie around into a sphere.
There’s a newer plugin called “Replay” but I used this first because it was less complicated for me.

idea:
a) grab a bunch of spherical photos
b) show each scene
c) tell a story over each section.
you can make it into a mystery story where you have to look around for clues and things.
