## What it is
A lightweight Android library that renders 360-degree panorama video using OpenGL ES 2.0. It only handles rendering of video frames onto a VR view, delegating playback to any player with a setSurface API such as MediaPlayer or IjkMediaPlayer.

## Use cases
- play 360 degree panorama videos on Android
- build a VR video player app
- render equirectangular video with OpenGL
- add gyroscope-based interactive 360 video viewing
- integrate 360 rendering with IjkMediaPlayer or MediaPlayer

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight 360 video renderer on Android
- you already have a video player and only need VR rendering
- you want motion or touch interactive panorama playback

## When to avoid
- you need full playback control, streaming, or codec handling built in
- you need actively maintained VR features or newer Android VR SDKs
- your project requires OpenGL ES 3.0 or Vulkan features

## Facets
