Description
A zendesk request came in for supporting embeds of Ricoh Theta 360 images.
We might be able to adapt the method used for SceneVR to embed a single equirectangular image, although as the request noted, images will typically be larger than StoryMap's maximum upload size.
For images hosted at theta360.com we might also be able to add a media type which recognizes the URL pattern and renders an embed. Below is an example embed taken from a random Theta 360 page found online. I don't know if it'd be feasible to dynamically write a script tag like that and get the desired behavior, but logging here in case we decide to pursue it.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing SceneVR embedding method and the media-type handling for hosted URLs. Compare those approaches with the Ricoh Theta example and determine whether the intended scope includes equirectangular uploads, theta360.com URLs, or both; done should mean a documented, working support path with an agreed test or verification method.
