Panorama API
summary
Yandex released an embedded panoramas API (spring 2016) that uses an HTML5 WebGL renderer with canvas2D fallback and a support check boolean before loading. Panoramas are loaded via a JavaScript createPlayer Promise that resolves to a player object for controlling view, zoom and events; custom panoramas use tiled 2:1 images served from a server with tile sizes that are powers of two (e.g., 512px), and the API supports markers, transitions and aerial/interior layers.
