Abstract: Highlights•We create and explore immersive stereo indoor environments from a 360∘ image•Light-weight gated architecture synthesizes novel views to cover head rotations•View slices are composed into two MCOP images for omidirectional stereo•A lightweight WebXR viewer render per-eye perspective views from the MCOP images•Exploration responds to head rotations with both motion and stereo cues
