I'm interested in capturing 360 video from the center of a conference room table and I would ultimately like to use face tracking to identify every face and then follow it with a square that's say three faces wide and two faces high and create sort of a zoom call view. 

Until I can figure that out, I would be satisfied with just cutting it into two 180s and stacking them. 

But a lot of the cameras I've looked at seem pretty dependent on Windows software to process the video, and I was wondering if that's really true or if there's reasonable useful ways to use these things in Linux.
