I suppose that's true. I might add some support for images where the horizon is not vertically centered in the image though, and just for fun a "look up/down" feature might still be a nice idea. > >The renderer works with div elements containing vertical slices of > >the input image, so fisheye type panoramas cannot be displayed. > >Maybe a future version using a canvas could overcome this > >limitation (and add some speed...) > > I looked at the HTML canvas and although it doesn't have image shear > capability (which is how the current crop of flash viewers fake the > perspective transformation), it does have rotation and x-y > differential scaling which ought to be enough to do a full cubic > panorama viewer - Some testing is needed. Well, this page here suggests that 3D is very well possible with the canvas element: http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/3d/ Still, direct access to pixels isn't available for canvas elements, as I understand, so it will be quite a challenge to get it right. Of course the div trick could be done in 2 dimensions, but it's slow enough already...
