I don't use Mac also, but maybe some things can be used there. I use Panini on Unix (FreeBSD) and DevalVR on windows. Panini also works on Windows. I use an old version of panini and the good point of it is that it can read equirrectangular, cube faces and many other image formats.
There is also a viewer for internet called Salado Player that needs to have the image converted before. The converter is in Java, but the plugin is in flash, that you don't like. I really don't like flash either. Never liked it, but I must admit that in my modest opinion they are the best internet viewers nowadays. You can also try PTViewer, that is Java. It is old and not as easy to use or flexible as the flash plugins. My preferred today is krpano, which is commercial. Follows the links: Panini - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pvqt/ This is based on QT, which I imagine that is available to Mac, as it is unix based and as you can have Xorg on it. It was not fast to install every dependency of it. If you follow this way I can try to help you at least listing the dependencies. Panini v1 Tom Sharpless, the author, is in this list. I don't know if this version is still available for free, I use the old one, but there is a site for the 1 beta: http://tksharpless.net/paniniv1/frontpage.html the good news is that it has a Mac version. In fact I couldn't test this version yet cause I always had problems with the OpenGL dependency and the old one is ok to my needs. DevalVR http://www.devalvr.com/paginas/productos/index.html I prefer the version available at the pano-pro site (called pano-pro player): http://www.pano-pro.com/khxc/pop%20up%20software.html Salado Converter - http://panozona.com/wiki/SaladoConverter Salado Player - http://panozona.com/wiki/SaladoPlayer Hope it helps.
