I found this about a month ago, for viewing equirectangular projection images.

Wikimedia has a collection of images that can be used with this viewer.

Uses the mobile phones sensors to move the image around.

Oh wow, it's great!

It uses the phone's accelerometers to navigate the sphere. So you can physically pan around and tilt the phone up and down to view the corresponding view in the sphere.

And it's open-source. I love it. Great find!
