I mistook what you meant by "viewer".  :/

Panini is a viewer in the sense that it uses OpenGL to render an image with 
a known x*y degrees of view and project it however you want [within its 
projection style limits, at least].  This doesn't help one post a navigable 
image in a web page, but it does give you a fast, self-contained, 
locally-run viewer.

To have a full 360-degree, manipulatable view you don't need to do anything 
beyond handing it a high-res equirectangular image [or any image with FOV 
tags, for partial projections].   You can mess with the projection type, 
viewing angle, rotation, etc. at will. 

It more or less acts as a lens simulator, and lets you save the image as a 
jpeg if you like what you see.  I lack the skill to get TIFF output 
working, but the jpegs it puts out are still excellent.

Usage: drop an image with FOV tags on it [the output of Hugin will have 
these].  Mess with the view.  Click save if you like it.
