What is wrong with just prewarping the fisheye movies?
Instead of using “warpplayer” and warping fisheye movies on the fly, prewarping has the advantage that any computer platform (within reason) can be used and the movie files are generally smaller. The disadvantage is that for a strictly correct result the exact warping need to be changed each time any component of the system is changed, ie: the position of the dome/mirror/projector. Prewarping movies can be time consuming and having multiple copies of a movie for different configurations is wasteful.For less precise results it may acceptable to use a “neutral” prewarped movie that will at least work for a particular aspect ratio, generally 4:3 or 16:9. The authors prewarping software is called “tgawarp”, it along, with the same mesh file created with “meshmapper” and used by “warpplayer”, can warp TGA and JPEG image sequences.
