[Opensim-dev] Opensim and hemispheric screen

[Tom Willans]

Thanks folks, much appreciated.  I looked at the exodus browser, but will review it again. I am hoping to follow the advice of Paul Burke http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/domefisheye/fisheye/ 
A very similar approach to the spherical sphere approach suggested.

I will however be using a hemispheric screen within my quasi-experiment which requires projection through a fisheye lens (or similar). This requires that the image from the display is suitably distorted. Before I start on further work does any one know of a viewer adapted to do this.  I appreciate that you folks will be more focused upon opensim rather than viewer technology.  I am assuming an additional shader will need to be added at the end of the pipeline.
