hi there!

you could try something like krpano

http://www.krpano.com/

..they provide tools to generate and viewers to handle panoramic images in the browser. they have a html5 & flash version. easy scriptable via xml .

http://www.krpano.com/docu/html5/
http://www.krpano.com/tools/

check out this example..html5

http://www.krpano.com/krpano.html?xml=tours/corfu/tour.xml&html5=always

really top notch and surprisingly easy to handle. we did some tests earlier this year. generated some panoramic images via modo using a spherical camera. krpano tools took care of the whole conversation process ( cutting into cubical maps, etc...)..there are different plugins to deal with ui and interaction.

..another solution would be something like a js-framework based thing, like

If you need to change product colors, and Flash is not an option, I'd go for a jQuery solution and hire a developer to add in the features you need. It shouldn't be hard.

Hello,

Don't know about panoramas but this product will let you do the material / texture / light changes in real time without having to render each shot.
