360 SDK — Controls

Programmatic playback and camera orientation.

Controls

Every player exposes a small imperative API for camera and playback control — useful for building your own UI chrome instead of the built-in controls.

JavaScript

// Camera
player.lookAt({ lon: 90, lat: 10 });   // absolute orientation (degrees)
player.rotateBy({ lon: 15, lat: -5 }); // relative nudge
player.getOrientation();               // → { lon, lat }

// Playback
player.play();
player.pause();
player.seek(12.5);                     // seconds into the capture
player.setMuted(true);
player.destroy();

Notes

Orientation is clamped to lat ∈ [-85, 85] so the camera never flips at the poles.

seek works while paused — scrub without playback to inspect a specific moment.

Combine orientation events with lookAt to build guided tours of a capture.
