[Opensim-dev] Opensim and hemispheric screen

[Dahlia Trimble]

If I understand you correctly, one way to accomplish this may be as
follows: render the scene off-screen and store it in a texture buffer, then
render that texture on the surface of a spherical object and display it.
I'm not familiar with LL viewer code but I would think most programs that
use OpenGL could be modified to do something like this.
