IPIX images give a 3D view of a world; the raster images are captured
in pairs using fisheye lenses and displayed using special software.
SVG does not have the requisite 3D transforms to do this conversion
natively.

However, IPIX could be added as a supported image type (for example,
in Batik) and a combination of IPIX (or Quicktime VR, or whatever 3D
raster image format) plus SVG for the user interface and information
overlays would be a powerful combination.
