## What it is
A collection of metadata specifications and Python tools from Google for 360-degree video, VR180, and spatial audio. It includes a tool for injecting spatial media metadata into media files.

## Use cases
- inject spatial metadata into 360 video files
- add spatial audio metadata to media
- make VR180 videos play correctly
- tag spherical video metadata in MP4 files
- understand 360 video metadata specifications

## When to choose
- you need to inject spherical/spatial metadata into video files
- you want reference specs for 360, VR180, or spatial audio formats
- you work with YouTube 360/VR content pipelines

## When to avoid
- you need to play or render 360 video rather than tag it
- you need real-time spatial audio processing
- you want a GUI video editor

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: video-processing, audio-processing, cli, serialization
- domain: media, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform, cli
- tags: 360-video, spatial-audio, vr180, metadata-injection, spherical-video, video, audio
