First off, that's a great image!

Have you considered QTVR for that?  The nature of the pano seems a natural
fit, and Tuviah has done a great job of adding QTVR support.

Check out the pan and tilt player properties.  They can be both read and
set, so you can guide the user if you like or leave the alwaysbuffer off and
let them also interact with it, displaying your notes depending on ranges of
pan and tilt settings.
