It seems to offer an impressive array of functionality, but in my 
initial glance through the site it wasn't clear it if handled:

- VR (scrolling panoramas with definable nodes and spatial callbacks)

- Selections (being able to visually show selections of any time-based
   media in the controller, with of course ways to obtain and set the
   selection).

Do you know offhand if VLC covers either of these?
