Secret Briefing: Yandex.Maps API
summary
Yandex is releasing a Panoramas API with an embeddable HTML5 player that exposes methods, events, markers, transitions and geocoordinate binding and accepts custom rectilinear panoramas delivered as pre-cut tiles. The renderer was reimplemented from canvas2D to a WebGL-based sector renderer that discards offscreen sectors, handles device limits (like max texture ~16384) and therefore requires tiles to be power-of-two and served with correct CORS headers to reduce memory and CPU usage.
