How to export a THREE.JS scene into a 360 texture for photosphere

Question

Now that youtube supports 360 degree video[1], how can I export a 360 degree frame from THREE.JS scene to be viewable as a photosphere texture or even within a youtube video?

The viewer to use the export could be like the one at http://blog.thematicmapping.org/2014/01/photo-spheres-with-threejs.html

here is what I did.
