I used to have somthing I called an ‘Orb Cam’ on my site. It was a large chromed plastic sphere that had a camera pointed at it. I didn’t have any software to flatten out the image so it was pretty much a poor man’s wide angle lens.
This is too darn cool! (Thank you MAKE for posting this)I’ve seen similar ideas done for robotic vision and 360 pamoramic images but the software has always been out of reach because I don’t program. I have to get a better Mac so I can run realtime effects…
